Unit VIII Assignment
This assignment provides you with an opportunity to complete
three major items: a cover letter, a resume, and a professional strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis. The cover letter should
be a three-paragraph memo that has been tailored to a specific job that
interests you. The resume should adhere to the steps outlined in Chapter 14
(see page 206). The details within the resume must be current with all relevant
and up-to-date information. The SWOT analysis should address your professional
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Bullet points are acceptable
for the resume and SWOT analysis; however, they must be detailed. Again, the
cover letter must include three paragraphs. Also, the resume must be at least
one page, and the SWOT analysis must thoroughly address each of the four parts
of the analysis. Be sure to have the major items in the proper sequence: first,
the cover letter; then, the resume; and finally, the SWOT analysis. Format each
major item as you wish; however, be sure the details are professional and
legible. Save all three within one word-processing document (e.g., Word) before
submitting the file in Blackboard for grading.
