...Introduction to Cover Letters The cover letter is a document meant to accompany one’s resume when applying for or inquiring about a job. It provides you with an opportunity to really introduce yourself to your employer by explaining your interest in the company and position, why you are qualified, and what sets you above other potential applicants. Cover letters are very important because prospective employers use them to get a sense of each applicant beyond what their resume conveys. In fact, cover letters are often the first document read by employers, and may determine whether they bother with the resume at all. It is very important to know how to write a proper cover letter so that you can distinguish yourself as a worker and as a person. * Cover letters are typically around one page in length and consist of fourparagraphs, each of which performs a specific job to quickly inform the employer of why they should consider you for the position. In the following section, each standard component of a cover letter why it is essential to think carefully about how it is written. The Ingredients of a Cover Letter NEED an introduction here. There should always be something written after every heading. The Headings At the top of your cover letter, you must include two headings and a date. The first heading details your contact information. Your contact information can be left-justified, or it can match the same style of heading contact information as your resume for consistency...

...Chapter One Introdution: Fundamentals of Business Writing I. The major differences between school writing and business writing School writing, typically in the form of essays, is aimed at impressing the audience, i.e. examiners. To score high, student writers have to use fairly complicated vocabulary and sentences in their written work. Business writers, however, mainly aim to communicate information to their colleagues, clients, and other associated parties. They are relatively free to use what language that can get the business done efficiently and effectively. II. Seven steps in the process of wring 1. clarifying your aim 2. identifying your readers 3. making a general plan 4. sketching a synopsis (大纲) 5. drafting your text 6. putting the draft aside 7. revising and editing ★ Writing is a recursive and creative process. The detailed plan is not adhered to in actual writing. Writers frequently come up with ideas that are activated in the process of writing. Writers read the text they have already produced to help generate more ideas. In effect, the writing process is no linear at all but is characterized by recursive ness and creativeness. III. Three principles of business writing 1. Clarity – means setting your message across clearly. (See detailed information on page 4) 2. Consideration – good business writers take their readers’ needs, problems, and reactions to the writing into consideration. And they...

...part of this course, and how I feel I will benefit from each topic. The first area I will discuss is the Personal Strengths Assessment, and how to “sell” these to potential employers in the competitive job market. I feel that taking an assessment of myself was a helpful tool in that it made me reflect upon myself, and the evaluate what I feel are my strengths are in regards to my employability. Once my strengths were identified, it made it easier for me to focus on these characteristics of myself and think of how I can sell or make them known to a potential employer, which I feel important in the job market of today to help me possibly stand out from other job seekers. The next area discussed was Resume development. I thought this was another important topic for the class, as it helped me to learn how to develop and construct a professional style resume. The topic helped me to decide what experiences and education to include in my resume, and in what order to list these. I feel a professional style resume is a key component in job seeking, as it shows a level of professionalism and clearly states what I can offer to an employer. To go hand in hand with the resume development, we also developed cover letters. The cover letter I feel gives a more personal feeling to your job seeking as it is a chance for you to express yourself and what you feel you can provide to an employer, it can also give an employer a sample of your writing style and allows you to show a professional demeanor...

...How to Win the Heart of the Employer in Job Interview Post on 28-May-09 by JobsDB HK No job seeker looks for failure in job interviews. The question is how to win? Especially in the current poor economy, competition is keen among job seekers. Good preparation in every aspect is required if one wants to stand out from other candidates. In early April 2009, JobsDB organized the seminar titled “How to win the heart of the employer in job interviews”. Dr Ming Cheung, Assistant Professor, Department of Media and Communication, CityU, was invited to share with job seekers job-hunting tips and suggested answers to some difficult interview questions. Dr Cheung said that in addition to working experience and academic qualifications, employers look for transferable skills in job seekers. “Show that you are attentive, motivated and communicative, and that you can add value to the company.” In interviews, job seekers should prepare to present a “perfect look”, Dr Cheung says. This consists of a “virtual you”, a “professional you”, and a “physical you”. These three parts have to be consistent so that you can present your true image. Virtual You – CV, cover letter, reference letters, work samples Professional You– training and education, experience, skills, information Physical You– dress, manner, voice, tone In answering questions in interviews, Dr Cheung advised job seekers to use past experience to illustrate. The following are questions employers may ask in job...

...Thank you for submitting your assignment on time. Please see my below comments. Unit 1 Assignment Adam Gray Kaplan University MT-355 Unit 1 Unit 1 Assignment Today, marketing research managers must fully take into account the marketing research process and marketing ethics while conducting their research. According to Brown (2014), the marketing research process is the process of gathering and interpreting data for use in developing, implementing, and monitoring the firm’s marketing plans; whereas marketing ethics are the principles, values, and standards of conduct followed by marketers. To stress the importance of both the marketing research process and ethics, I will apply the principles of each one to a different scenario. The marketing research process is sequence of activities undertaken to provide information needed for decision making (Brown, 2014). The first step of the marketing research process is to clearly define the problem. Typically, the problem at hand can be defined by asking questions such as what is the purpose of the study, what is the source of the problem, and is the research intended to provide information or to make a decision (Brown, 2014). Based upon the scenario, the FlyRight Airline Company is interested in altering the interior layout of its aircraft to suit the tastes/needs of an increasing market segment of businesspeople in which management is planning to reduce the number of seats and install small tables to enable businesspeople to work during...
