Since we've been working on creating job openings and other interview related things, and since we only met once last week, I haven't updated the blog over the past couple weeks. Below I have laid out what we will do in class on Friday, 2/19/16:
Today, you are going to explore what cover letter writing is all about. Please use each of the easy-to-read links below to find out what a cover letter is, what to include, and how to format it.

After reading through the first link, you will know what a cover letter is. After reading the second link, you will have a solid idea of what to include in your cover letter. After reading the third link, using BLOCK FORMAT, you will know how to format a cover letter and see a good example of a BLOCK FORMAT cover letter.
Once finished reading, you will create your first draft of the cover letter. Use the information from the job posting for a data entry clerk and the information from your articles to write a rough draft for your cover letter. Attach your cover letter to this assignment when finished. Your grade will be based on the format (20 points) and content (10 points). NOTICE THAT A MAJORITY OF YOUR GRADE IS BASED ON PROPER FORMATTING OF YOUR COVER LETTER :)
Next week, we will work on revising these into a masterpiece.
