Discussion: Career Documents
1
Greetings All:
Please respond to the prompts below regarding Career Documents. Make sure that you respond to three other classmates in meaningful ways, which requires you to engage in dialogue with ideas and not just answer with agreement or disagreement. Refer to the Discussion Activity Rubric Handout (链接到外部网站。)链接到外部网站。 if you need a reminder about the expectations of this assignment and how I assess these discussion activities.
For this discussion activity, you will need to post your response first before you are able to see what others have posted.
Prompts:
- Using references from Anderson’s book to support your claims, what are some of the most important concepts to keep in mind when designing career documents, specifically a Cover Letter, Resume, etc? Make sure you are using MLA-style citations to reference your sources.
- What sorts of contextual factors must you keep in mind as you think about a reader for a particular job position in your field?
- Review the sample Resume and Cover Letter. What suggestions would you provide this writer? Please note that John Doe needs help as a professional colleague, so the suggestions you are providing should be conveyed in a professional and helpful manner, since providing suggestions is a task that you may very well be asked to do in a future professional setting.
Use quotations, summaries, and paraphrases from the Anderson textbook and any previous materials assigned to help you respond to these prompts.
