Ex 2-4a: Entrepreneurial Activity (10pts)
Bring in a printout or clipping of an entry-level job advertisement in a field that lets you employ the skills you are learning in your English studies. Write a resume and cover letter for that job. Include a submission note that describes your reaction to this assignment.
Readings: (Required, but you don't have to blog about them)
Resumes (includes sections on top 5 problems, content, and layout.)
Cover Letters
Avoid empty claims. Rather than writing, "I will work tirelessly for you," give a list of concrete accomplishments.
Please read the handouts very carefully, especially the "Top Tips" handouts. I wrote them after marking hundreds and hundreds of resumes and cover letters, written by students who kept making the same mistakes.

Do we need to print all of this out and hand it in, since you are going paperless?
Posted by: Denamarie Ercolani at March 23, 2006 06:58 PMThat's a good question. I do want a copy of the ad. If you only have a paper copy, there's no need for you to type up or scan in an electronic copy. But I do want you to submit these materials via J-Web. (I'll create the slot shortly, if I haven't already done so. I'll check in a few minutes.)
