Homework: The Importance of an Effective Cover Letter and Resume

Honors Students: Complete this homework according to the directions provided in the "Honors Addendum," located in Class Resources.

The purpose of this homework is to conduct research on potential job opportunities in your desired career field and determine the importance of tailoring a resume and cover letter for that specific job position.

On average a resume and cover letter have less than 10 seconds to make an impression and provide an opportunity for the applicant to move on to the interviewing process. Therefore, securing employment often hinges on creating an effective resume and cover letter that align with the required job skills and experience.

Conduct research on a minimum of two potential job positions within your desired career field. Reflect in 250-500 words on the following questions regarding the specific organizations as well as the skills, knowledge, and experience needed to obtain these positions.

Question I. Provide a brief introduction of your desired career field.

Question II. Provide an overview of each organization and the specific position you are applying to. You are required to include the name of the company and the company's website, social media handles, and approximate number of employees.

Question III. Describe two or three facts about the company that are interesting to you and explain why you want to work for this company in the future.

Question IV. Describe the knowledge, skills, and experience required by the job positions selected. What knowledge, skills, experiences, or other opportunities do you need to obtain in order to be eligible for these job positions?

Question V. Explain the significance of drawing connections between the requirements listed in the job descriptions and your resume and cover letter, relevant to your career field. Determine how you would make those connections within your resume and cover letter to ultimately gain the hiring manager's attention.
