Written Homework: Due April 29th

For your writing assignment this semester, you will be writing a cover letter for a job in the English speaking world. The first step will be for you to find a job posting that interests you. To do this, you might search on the internet or in English language newspapers. You will turn in a copy of the job posting with your letter. Once you have found a job that interests you, you will write a letter that describes:

1) What skills and qualities would be required in order to do this job? How can you present your skills as attractive to a potential employer?
2) What personality traits make you an attractive candidate?
3) What experience do you have that would help prepare you for the job?

Your letter is due in class on April 29th. Your letter should be between 250 and 500 words, and you can contact me at njs2g@virginia.edu if you have any questions.
