DeVry CARD 405 Week 6 Assignment
Last week, you created a targeted resumé tailored to a specific job ad. This week, you need to write a targeted cover letter responding to that ad. After this is complete, you will do a bit of role playing by assuming that you were given the opportunity to interview for the position and that you now need to write a post-interview thank you letter to the employer.
The following resources will be very helpful for this assignment:
• Using Your Cover Letter (Links to an external site.)
• Using Your Thank You Letter (Links to an external site.)
PART 1: THE COVER LETTER
The Cover Letter must
• be targeted to the job ad and link the student’s skills to the job requirements; and
• convey the company’s goals and be personalized to the reader.
PART 2: THE THANK YOU LETTER
The Thank You Letter must
• provide at least three links from the student’s personal skill set to the expectations listed in the job ad; and
• express why the student would be the best candidate for the position.
BOTH LETTERS MUST
• contain appropriate content;
• be formatted in standard business style; and
• be free of spelling and grammatical errors.
You will also find helpful materials for these letters in your text.
Don’t forget to submit your assignment.
