The purpose of this assignment is to identify potential employment opportunities and utilize persuasive and professional writing skills to create job search materials.

Using an online job search site, such as Indeed.com, CareerBuilder.com, or the GCU Career Services website, select an internship or position for which you are currently qualified. Ensure that the job posting provides a detailed descriptions of the candidate’s desired education, experience, or qualifications.

For this assignment, create a cover letter, resume, and LinkedIn profile that could be used when applying for the position. Ensure that each includes the following elements:

• Persuasively highlight your skills, abilities, qualifications, and experience relevant to the position you are seeking.

The cover letter should not exceed two pages and should conform to block format cover letter standards.

Submit the resume, cover letter, a link to your LinkedIn profile, as well as a link to the job posting for which you are applying.
