 1. Search for job openings in your current field or the field that you plan on
entering upon graduation or completion of this course.  You may search for
job openings in your current hometown, or you may use websites such as
www.indeed.com or www.careerbuilder.com, or browse the careers section
at a specific organization’s webpage to find a job anywhere in the world. 
Print a copy of the posting for the job that interests you the most.
2. Based upon the job position, and using the business letter format that you
learned in 10.1, write a one-page cover letter.  Section 10.1 lists
components of a business letter, 8 of which are mandatory for this
assignment.  Include them in your cover letter.  Note: the non-mandatory
components are enclosure and Cc:  as these are not applicable to all letters.

What is a cover letter?

A cover letter is a brief document that supplements your résumé/CV.  Your cover
letter is your first contact with your potential employer.  The purpose of the cover
letter is to get the hiring manager’s attention by introducing yourself and
explaining how you can meet the criteria that is listed in the job posting.  You
should take great care in writing your cover letter in such a way that will make you
stand out from other applicants.  Your cover letter should be brief (usually around
three paragraphs) but impactful. 
You should always specifically tailor your cover letter to the particular position you
are applying for.  (If you ever find yourself in a situation where you are applying for
multiple jobs at once, do not use a generic cover letter for each application.)
Here are some tips for writing an effective cover letter:

 Put the best, most interesting information in the first sentence.  Hiring
managers are busy.  Get their attention immediately. Avoid cliché and
boring sentences like “It is with great interest that I am writing you to apply
for . . . “
 Show, don’t tell.  When possible, let your results and accomplishments be
the “adjectives” you use to describe yourself.  Instead of calling yourself a
“team player” or “highly motivated sales professional,” give an example of
what you have done to earn that description. 
 Do not write a boring and generic objective like “Looking for a position with
room for advancement.”  The purpose of the cover letter is for you to
highlight what you can offer the organization, not the other way around.
 Mention the organization by name, as well as a few specific skills that are
listed in the job posting and how you meet them. 
 Stick to the point, which is the specific position.  Don’t repeat all the bullet
points on your résumé/CV; if the hiring manager is interested, he or she will
still see that anyway.
 Research the company’s culture.  In certain organizations, a more informal
tone may be acceptable, or even preferred.  In industries such as legal,
banking and healthcare, the tone should usually be very formal.  Certain
tech firms and startups, for example, may have a more informal—and even
playful—approach to doing business. 
 Proofread repeatedly, and then have another trusted person proofread.
