qualifications and how you will sell yourself for this job (use the CMAPP

1) Job summary and organizational information
Using the job advertisement that you chose, prepare a short – 1 page description of the
position and the organization you are applying to. You will have to do a little research to
find out about the organization. For example youll need to know who will look at your
resume, as well as any other information that might help you tailor your resume and
cover letter.
Dont spend too much time on the research, but you will want to achieve two goals. First
youll want to be able to connect your qualifications to the organization and the position.
Second, youll want to make your resume stand out and show youve done research about
the company, which makes you exceptional. Explain how youll tailor your resume to
this job, interviewer and organization.

Who is your competition?
What is the process? One interview or two? How many people will interview
you?
The Field

How can your resume show that you would be an asset in this field?
2) Cover Letter
Write a one-page cover letter based on the strategies covered in your text and in class. Be
sure to follow proper letter format, use the persuasive strategy and tailor the letter to the
job, the interviewer and the organization.
3) Resume

organize and word the information and design the resume to match expectations within
that actual field. Your resume should be recognizable at a glance as belonging to your
particular career field.
