Question

Imagine! A fabulous job opportunity came about. Its application process requires that you submit a well-written letter, which reviews both; (1) your position interest and, (2) your personal characteristics (only). You are a bit perplexed?

To make sure the letter sent is appropriate, and includes audience directed information, you decide to seek assistance. You contact Jane Sims, Director, CSUSB Career Center, by way of a memo. Within this memo, you explain the position opportunity, and the audience who will review this letter. You ask that Jane shares her letter expertise with you, because you really, need her feedback. For her critique, the memo includes a list of your personal characteristics (3-6, with support/examples). Memo's end has a request for future advisement.

Memo, follow the steps below:

Create a cluster diagram which organizes:

Position opportunity

Audience of review

Position interest

Assistance request

Personal characteristics

Appointment request

Turn your cluster diagram into an outline which includes memo format(s).

With the outline as a guide, draft the memo to Jane Sims.

As it is critical to write a cover letter while applying for a job, I am intending to write an appropriate cover letter. However, I am not sure about the way a cover letter should in the given context, I seek your assistance. I know that you can help me and I appreciate your timely help.

            I am keen to get the job of a business analyst in customer care department and willing to give my best to get employment in the company. Please note that my credentials and cover letter will be reviewed by various mangers in the company. Hence, please write an appropriate cover letter for this context and send it to me via email. I am looking forward to your response.
