Job Materials Assignment

English 305, Technical Writing

Research the conventions of the job application process in your field, and write a resume and cover letter answering a job advertisement. Even though PDFs are the appropriate file format for job materials, submit the job ad, resume, and cover letter to my email as a .doc attachment so I’m able to leave comments more easily. As with any writing task, consider:

Purpose: Do the documents convey a clear sense of your purpose in writing? This one is easy for this assignment—your purpose is to convince your reader you’re a good candidate for the job.

Audience: Do the documents possess a clear sense of audience? Do the documents show that you understand the goals and needs of the organization and the position?

Conventions: Do your documents follow the general rules and format of cover letters and resumes? Do they follow the specific expectations of your field?

Please also include the job advertisement you’re responding to so I can judge how well you’ve crafted the materials to suit the position. Remember that this is the most important and most difficult assignment of the semester. Cover letters are very tricky and often take multiple drafts, and I put it on the syllabus first in part so you’d have plenty of time to revise and resubmit by the end of the course.
