Fixing a resume for my business class

0 comments

I already have a resume but I just need you to fix it as my instructor wants it (which is below)….

In writing a résumé and cover letter, you will integrate some basic principles we have been discussing in the course.  You will apply principles of audience analysis, clarity, tone, and accuracy, among other skills.

Instructions:

Prepare a résumé and cover letter for a job that you might be interested in and are qualified for. Assume the vacancy will occur at the end of this semester. Write truthfully, assuming what will be true for you at the end of this semester.

Strategies and Tutorials to Consider for this Assignment:

· In addition, you will want to review module 4 in our class, Employment Documents.  In that module, you will see a description of a chronological résumé, a functional résumé, and a combination résumé.  You will want to decide which approach you would like to use.

· Moreover, you can review the chapter called “Employment Correspondence” by Andrea Geffner.  This chapter is available in our eReserves section of our class.  It is a chapter from a book called Business English: A Complete Guide to Developing an Effective Business Writing Style.

Length:  Your résumé should be 1-2 pages.  Your cover letter should be 1-2 pages as well.  The cover letter should be in 12-point font.
