      Cover Letters<\/h3>\n

      At this point we have researched careers or clusters you may be interested in as well as created a resume and job application.<\/p>\n

      So at this point we are actually ready to:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Find one job opening in a career area you may be interested in upon completion of your training.<\/li>\n
      2. Create a cover letter<\/li>\n
      3. Create an envelope<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Step 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Find a job opening that you may be interested in currently or in the future.\u00a0 You can either print the information and put the printout in your notebook or you may copy and paste the information into a Google Doc that you create in the Google Drive folder I created for you.\u00a0 This step is necessary in case you do not complete the assignment today and need the information next week or in the future.<\/p>\n

        Step 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Write a cover letter in which you are pretending you will use to apply for a job.\u00a0 More information regarding the format of a cover letter is included below.<\/p>\n

        Step 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        A professional looking envelope should be used to mail correspondence to a potential employer.\u00a0 Instead of using Google Docs, we will use MS Word for this task.\u00a0 Please ask me for help printing the envelope. You will need your cover letter open before I assist you.<\/p>\n

        Introduction to Cover Letters<\/span><\/h2>\n

        Cover letters\u00a0are\u00a0important\u00a0because they tell employers the type of position you’re seeking and exactly how you’re qualified for it. Your\u00a0cover letter\u00a0can also explain things that your resume can’t.<\/p>\n

        What is a cover letter?<\/strong><\/p>\n

        A cover letter is a one-page document that, along with\u00a0your resume, is sent with your job application. A cover letter is your chance to tell a potential employer why you\u2019re the perfect person for the position and how your skills and expertise can add value to the company. The letter should be professional but personable, and serve as a sort of introduction.<\/p>\n

        A lot of job seekers today wonder if a cover letter is still appropriate to send with your resume\u2014and the answer is yes! Even if an employer doesn\u2019t ask for a cover letter, it couldn\u2019t hurt to send one. In fact, it\u00a0can help you get someone’s attention in a different way, and it can be a great way to display your enthusiasm for the job and company.<\/p>\n
