Dear Hiring Manager;

It has come to my knowledge that your educational institution has recently opened a
vacancy for a teaching job. I would like to express my interest in applying as secondary –level
English teacher in your school. Enclosed is my updated resume for review. I firmly believe that
my experience, knowledge and skills would be compatible to achieve the vision of your

I have just finished my degree in Bachelors of Secondary Education major in English at
St. Paul University Surigao. While completing my degree, I served as a student teacher at Caraga
Regional Science High School. My one month of Internship so far taught me a lot of lessons,
most particularly in giving instruction. The teachers and administrators were very welcoming
and guided me on how to deal with school matters. Moreover, I was trained to create lesson
plans and conducted teaching demonstrations. I was also able to facilitate student activities and
provides formative and summative test during their final examination.
Furthermore, I also served as a volunteer teacher at CV Diez Central Elementary School.
I worked as an assistant with my seniors in creating modules and conducting online classes that
would help students learn despite of the pandemic. I handled fourth grade English classes for two
months, which gives me the enough time to understand in dealing with new learning set up.

Last year, I successfully passed the licensure exam for teachers. Upon obtaining my

given the opportunity to apply to your institution. I hope you find me qualified for the position

Activity 3: Writing a Purposeful Technical Report

______________________________________________________________________________
Date: August 21, 2021
To: Creative Team Management
From: Jayen Orjela Cayasa (Operations and Purchasing Manager of Advertising Company)
Subject: Technical Report for request of purchasing brand new 3 Digital Camera units.
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
In today’s modern world, photography has turned into a real way of making money. With the
popularity of camera and mobile phones, clicking the beautiful and eye-catching photos has
become general. This is why selecting the best digital camera is one of the most important factor
to be considered for every creative photography. Creative management’s teams used digital
cameras as it contains high definition lenses and features, which captures the images, videos and
any other operations electronically.
______________________________________________________________________________
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to look for digital camera units as per request by the creative team
management team. Most of the digital cameras are able to record moving photos, sounds and
produces one of the best and excellent results.
_____________________________________________________________________________
BODY
One most basic features of digital camera to mould it into the best category is its megapixel
property. The higher the mega pixels, the better the actual photograph which emerges. A
megapixel is equivalent to a million pixels. The resolution of your respective image is reliant
upon the megapixel property of your respective camera. This means that while you enlarge the
picture, you can obtain more details and fewer blurry colours.
The best camera will always have a large LCD to assist you frame your subject without needing
to squint towards the viewfinder. This can also be helpful when reviewing your images. There
are cameras which enable touch up and editing features using its LCD. A 1.5-inch display is
average, a 2-inch LCD display is good but the best one will be 2.5 inches or higher.
Most digital cameras have both digital and optical zoom. A higher optical zoom is usually better
than an increased digital zoom. Digital cameras are often furnished with optical which is
between 3x to 10x. The better the optical zoom, the larger it climbs as much as the best digital
camera category.
Always make sure that your memory card is the suitable for your camera. There will vary in
types of memory card such as the xD, SD, Flash card and so on. These kinds of memory cards
go along with certain types of digital cameras. Obviously memory storage can be up there when
selecting suitable models.
Nowadays, there are various high quality digital cameras that comes with Ten plus Mega Pixels
of resolution like Canon EOS R5, Nikon D6, Sony A7R IV and more. Digital camera with a
higher number of Mega Pixels gives you an opportunity to click a higher resolution photographs
that will definitely provide you the best and highest results.
Canon EOS R5
As a stills camera, the Canon EOS R5 is simply Canon's finest product ever. It’s the perfect
amalgamation of the EOS R’s form, the EOS 5D’s function, and the professional-grade
autofocus of the EOS-1D X. If you're a stills or hybrid shooter who flits between photography
and videography, it's one of the best cameras you will ever have the pleasure of using. It has
attracted some attention for the wrong reasons, notably overheating (or the threat of it) when
recording 8K video, but this shouldn't detract from this camera's extraordinary capabilities. It's
not perfect at everything, but given its resolution, its frame rate and its video capabilities
combined, this is genuinely a landmark camera.
Nikon D6
Like Canon, Nikon also offers a huge range of professional lenses, and a choice of pro camera
bodies. Nikon has also taken its first steps in the full frame mirror less market with the Nikon Z 6
and Z 7 and, as with the Canon EOS R, these cameras can use existing current Nikon DSLR
lenses, without restriction, via an adaptor, so Nikon users can try a ‘side grade’ to mirror less a
step at a time rather than having to swap out a whole system. 
Canon made some big technological leaps with the EOS-1D X Mark III, but the Nikon D6 is
more conventional. Nikon will no doubt have wanted to make sure that owners of the D5 will be
able to make a seamless switch to the new camera, which has a band new 105-point AF system,
14fps continuous shooting and a 10.5fps silent mode. Nikon has also concentrated on
professional workflow and connectivity options, not just headline-grabbing technologies. 

Sony A7R IV
Sony’s new highest-resolution full frame mirror less camera, with a record-breaking 61 million
pixels and yet still capable of shooting continuously at 10fps. It also has Sony's usual very good
4K video capabilities, though still capped at 30p. The latest iteration of Sony's eye AF, however,
is stunningly effective at tracking portrait subjects, even in continuous AF. While the Sony A9 is
designed for out-and-out speed and responsiveness, the A7R Mark IV is much more suitable for
all-round photography at the highest quality levels. It continues the 'R' line by offering the
highest resolution of any full frame camera, but while its 10fps burst shooting looks good on
paper for sports photography, it doesn't have the buffer capacity and responsiveness of the A9, so
its high frame rate is useful to have, but the A7R Mark IV would not be your first choice for
sports. HOWEVER, for outright resolution, the A7R Mark IV reigns supreme, and not just in the
Sony camp but amongst full frame cameras in general. 
Conclusion
Based on the findings of this report, it has been concluded that creative teams choose digital
cameras with higher resolution. These camera units offers one of the best and user friendly
features. Provides an immediate review of all the captured images and feedback. Gives
opportunity to make any crucial modifications right away. Endows with video recording and
preview of photographs. The overall cost of digital camera is subsidiary.
Moreover, digital camera’s memory card holds a large number of images as compared to the
representative roll of film. It is much easier store a lot of snaps in digital camera and also
depends on the size of the memory card. It eradicates film processing. Digital camera memory
cards have the ability to recover photos instantly. Allows you to transfer digital photographs
directly to a computer without losing the quality of image. Enables to employ editing software
to do the variety of things to your images.
Furthermore, it offers the complete number of ways to enhance and control the digital
photographs instantly. Digital camera has the ability to store the important information, which
entails the date, time and the locality of the images as well.
