Career planning and job application documents

I provided my resume and cover letter. If you could revise it to accomplish what the professor wants. For this assignment, you will be preparing your own cover letter and rsum. Even if you may not be planning to apply for a new job anytime soon, use this activity to begin planning for the future. If you are unsure of your career plans, go to the Student Success Center and search “Explore Careers.” Then, from the search results, select some career fields to explore. For this assignment, you will need to choose a specific job in a specific career field. Step 1: Find a job announcement. Find a job announcement related to your career field. It should be a real job that you would legitimately consider or actually are applying for either now or in the future. For this job announcement: You may use any job board to find a job announcement. You may use an internal vacancy announcement with an organization at which you are currently employed. You may use a job description for a military position to which you plan to be promoted in the future. You may use a job description from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook [webpage]. (Use the “What They Do” section of your chosen career as your “job announcement” for this assignment.) Your cover letter and rsum must be tailored to match the qualifications of this job announcement and to persuade the audience that you should be hired for this job. Step 2: Submit your cover letter and rsum for reviews. (Due Week 5 in the Peer Review Discussion Forum) Submit your cover letter and rsum for a peer review in the Week 5 peer review Discussion forum. Follow the instructions there for the peer-review process. Step 3: Submit your cover letter, rsum, and job announcement. (Due Week 6) After receiving feedback from your peers (and optionally Hiration.com [webpage]) and doing your own self-review based on the peer-review experience, REVISE your cover letter and rsum and submit them for final evaluation. Include the job announcement as a link or separate file. Guidelines and Submission Instructions: You may submit the three parts as three separate files OR as a single file, using page breaks as needed. Remember, formatting is part of the assessment! Use all principles of writing studied so far in the course (e.g., the Six Cs of Communication, positive emphasis, “you” approach, message formatting and organization). The names of any attached files should be descriptive and short, just as they would appear if you were attaching and sending them to a potential employer. Plagiarism and Borrowed Material Note (Including the Use of AI) You will be able to see your Turnitin.com report for all submitted files. If content in the cover letter and rsum is similar to other sources, REVISE and RESUBMIT them before the due date! Similarity might happen if you are using a list of job duties, a cover letter or rsum template, or a cover letter or rsum generator. As reviewed in the Week 5 Learning Materials, be concrete and clear by sharing specifics and quantifiable amounts that do not just describe your job duties but actually explain your job accomplishments. If you use a rsum tool, such as Hiration [webpage], or if you use a sample rsum as a guide, be sure to edit the content to make it unique and specific to your experiences. Do not copy/paste content directly from job descriptions or AI or rsum-building tools, including Hiration [webpage]. Imagine if everyone applying for the same job used the same tool as you did and submitted similar rsums. Remember, to achieve the purpose of “selling yourself” in a persuasive way, your cover letter and rsum must be as unique as you are! For example: Job Description: Conduct monthly job performance, goal setting, and career development counseling. General Rsum Content Generated by AI: Counsel employees in performance of job duties, establishing objectives, and professional development. Personal, Unique, and Specific Rsum Content: Conducted more than 20 monthly job performances, setting goals for technical training and performance improvement while providing career counseling that led to promotions for more than 50% of staff.
