Tuesday, May 30 - Cover Letters

Objective: By the end of class, students will write resume, email cover letters and apply for actual summer jobs in order to gain employment.

DO NOW

When your Resume is complete, save it, and save ANOTHER COPY as a PDF. Make sure you do not save your only copy as a PDF because in the future you will need to make changes. However, for today, when you send your resume out, you want to send it a a PDF so no one can make any changes to it.

Use directions from the "email cover letter" site to write a cover letter for a job. Be sure to highlight your strengths and focus more on how you can help them, rather than how they can help you. Do not send anything until I proof read it.
