Q Your employment project will consist of the following components: • A personal resume • An application letter or message (cover letter) • Thank-you letter (following an interview) • Company research The resume and application letter should be prepared with a specific job in mind—you will need to provide a copy of the job ad or job description along with the resume and application letter. Please note that the resume should be as factual as possible so that I can give you relevant feedback. Compose a thank you letter that you might send after the interview that you obtained through your resume and application letter. PLEASE NOTE: These first three items – resume, application letter, and thank-you letter – all pertain to the same position. The company research can be information obtained about any company in which you might be interested—not your own, please. Note: the company research doesn’t necessarily have to be about the company that is the focus of the other three parts of this project.
