LESSON 2
COMMUNICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT
RESUME AND APPLICATION LETTER

LET’S SUM IT UP

A.
How does a resume differ from an application letter?

Answer: A resume is factual and brief. Think of it as list of your professional skills and
experience. A cover letter, on the other hand is more detailed. It let you tell employers
you’re the best person for the job.

Why are both important in applying for a job?

Answer: A cover letter allows a potential employer to be introduced to you and your
resume. It is the first document an employer sees, therefore serving as your first
impression and also allows the employer to get a more comprehensive look at who you
are and why you are qualified for the job.

B. Explain the relevance of the topic to your career.

Answer: It is important to come up with your career planning as it gives you the much
needed direction and makes it clear there where you see yourself in future. It makes you
aware of your strength and weaknesses and the skills and knowledge that are required to
achieve your goals in future.

JOB INTERVIEW

I learned the similarities of application letter and resume. I know that application letter and
resume is difficult and it’s needed when you apply a job. And I learned how to proper answer the
