This résumé package is designed to help you prepare for a future job search.
Cover Letter
The cover letter must be at least a one-page (three-paragraph) memo that has been tailored to a specific job that interests you. Outline your cover letter using the following steps:
- an opening paragraph that describes the position you are applying for,
- a body paragraph that explains your skills and experience, and
- a closing paragraph that requests an interview and provides your contact information.
Résumé
The résumé must be at least one page in length and should adhere to the steps outlined in Chapter 14 (see page 206). The details within the résumé must be current with all relevant and up-to-date information.
SWOT Analysis
The SWOT analysis should address the professional strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats related to your professional career. Be honest with yourself as you create this analysis. You may use bullet points for the SWOT analysis, but please use detailed and complete sentences. Your SWOT analysis must be at least one page in length.
Compile all three sections into one word document. Your complete assignment must be at least three pages in length. Outside sources are not a requirement for this assignment.
