Assignment – Cover Letter and References

 

For this assignment, complete a one-page cover letter and one-page references document to accompany your resume.

 

Cover Letter

 

A cover letter is an important accompaniment to the resume. Use it to highlight your qualifications on the resume that are most relevant to the job qualifications and provide specific information to the hiring manager.

 

Before you write your cover letter, review the following documents in the course.

 

Read Chapter 7 in the eBook.

 

In Readings & Tools:

 

Review Cover Letter Info

 

Review Sample Cover Letters

 

Test yourself with Cover Letter Self-Assessment

 

(Note: Word templates also contain sample cover letters.)

 

 References 

 

References need not be included with your resume but you will want to keep them in your portfolio in case you are asked for them.  You may need to include them on the company application.  

 

Keep the names, titles, and contact information (phone number and/or email address) of at least three professional references.  Also have three personal references (just in case).  Professional ones are best if it does not specify which type on an application. 

 

ALWAYS ask the person if you may use him/her as a reference and, if they agree, inform them of the position and the qualifications you would like them to emphasize. 

 

The Reference page should have the same heading (Name, address, etc...) formatted just like your Resume.  Be sure to use the Professional and Personal subheadings. 

 

In Reading & Tools:

Print the reference page on the same type of resume paper as your resume and cover letter.
