Consider that you found an online job posting for your dream job. Practice completing a résumé package that includes a cover letter, a résumé, and a
professional strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis. This résumé package is designed to help you prepare for a future job search.
Cover Letter
The cover letter must be at least a one-page (three-paragraph) memo that has been tailored to a specific job that interests you. Outline your cover letter
using the following steps:
an opening paragraph that describes the position you are applying for,
a body paragraph that explains your skills and experience, and
a closing paragraph that requests an interview and provides your contact information.
Résumé
The résumé must be at least one page in length and should adhere to the steps outlined in Chapter 14 (see page 206). The details within the résumé must be
current with all relevant and up-to-date information.
