    1. Name one strength that you demonstrated in your mock interview.
  • One strength was being able to confidently answer the question “tell me about yourself.”

2. Name one thing you could improve about your interview, and how would you go about improving?

  • One thing I would like to improve is how to appropriately answer the question “where do you see yourself in 5 years.” I hope to run a business myself yet am hesitant at expressing that to a prospective employer.

3. What are the three reasons that you are the perfect candidate to help the Company meet its objectives/goals for this particular position?

  • Being bilingual, fluent in English and Spanish, assist in better communicating with the clients, possibly leading to a higher client retention.
  • Extensive knowledge and experience in Immigration field.
  • Hard worker and task-oriented.

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing this letter as a response to your ad that I found on the web, posted on the Indeed website a few days ago. As stated in the ad, I would like to apply as an Electrical Engineer to your company. As an Electrical Engineer completing a Bachelor’s Degree at New York City College Of Technology, I strongly believe my skillset and my strong work ethic can be of great contribution to the well developing company of yours.

Aside from graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, I will soon pursue a State license of professional engineer, which will further my technical and comprehensive skills to better accentuate the needs of your company. Also, I have a large amount of experience using AutoCad Systems, which is crucial to have for a company of your sort.

Having said that, I do realize that your main consideration must be the practical and theoretical skills that an applicant has to offer. I hope that the experience and education described in my resume suggest how I might be of service to your organization.

I welcome the opportunity to discuss how I could help you fulfill your corporate needs. I am available for employment as soon as possible, and can be reached by phone (917) 651-4613, or email Viewavi@msn.com.

Sincerely yours,

Michael Yunatan

1. Name one strength that you demonstrated in your mock interview.

I was able to speak clearly and not use a lot of um’s in my speech. I was also able to keep direct eye contact with my interviewer.

2.Name one thing you could improve about your interview, and how would you go about improving?

I really need to get a script down pact for the weakness question. I really stumbled on that question; although I clearly knew it was coming.

3.What are the three reasons that you are the perfect candidate to help the Company meet its objectives/goals for this particular position?

I am the perfect candidate because I am diligent in completing tasks.

I always produce a polished finished product.

Estates, Trusts, and Wills is an area of law that I’m particularly interested in working with.

Consolidated Edison

Dear Hiring manager,

Please accept my resume for a position as an electrical engineer. Con Edison is one of the largest energy supplier in The U.S. It would be an honor to work for such a company. I have a Bachelors degree in Electrical engineering. I am confident that my education has prepared me for the position that is available.

I have a sincere fondness for mathematics, it’s the reason I became an engineer. I have good problem solving skills, a key trait for engineering. I enjoy doing basic arithmetic. I have strong knowledge of AC/DC circuits and at City Tech I had lots of opportunities for hands on experience. In school I had the experience of working with others and providing assistance to those in need. I’m a well rounded individual.

My resume can show you that I am a great candidate to fill this position. I look forward to receive a response and schedule an appointment.

Sincerely,

Shehryar Dehllu

Dear Sir/Madam:

I am interested in the position of Immigration Paralegal/Immigration Expert which I saw advertised in the Daily News.

At my previous job, I served as an Immigration Legal Assistant for over 13 years. I was responsible for preparing documents for clients to obtain legal status through family and employer based petitions. In this capacity, I have learned to effectively build rapport with clients developing long term relationships leading to client referrals. This requires excellent note taking, listening and conversational skills, multi-tasking, all of which I possess.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to serve a variety of individuals and have earned a reputation of being reliable and dependable, accustomed to working in a fast paced environment.  With the experience in my past employment, I know that I can handle anything that this role can throw at me.

I look forward to speaking with you soon. I can be reached at the e-mail address/telephone number above.

Sincerely,

Meredith Taylor

Monday, March 9: Cover Letter Peer Review

Instructions

Today, we will review one another’s Cover Letters in class.

We will have two rounds of review—in other words, each of your letters will be reviewed at least twice in class today.

Round 1 (6:00 – 6:25) — Find your first peer review partner & their cover letter blog post.

Round 2 (6:25 – 6:50) — Find another peer review partner & their cover letter blog post.

End of Class: Discussion

 

For each round, follow these steps:

1. Find your partner, and locate their post on the Open Lab.

2. You’ll be writing your review comments as a reply to their post. Being “nice” is important in this process, but being critical is important too. So without being heartless and cruel, make your comments as honest and as detailed as you can so that your comments are useful for revision.

3. Respond to these questions about the cover letter you are reviewing.

  • Reverse Engineer the Letter: Without looking at the job ad/listing, read the letter. Then write down what you think the job ad says—you are reverse engineering the letter/ad by doing this—trying to see if you can figure out the job ad just from the letter.
  • Read the job ad. Were you close in your reverse engineering attempt? If you were, then the letter probably meets with some of the employer’s needs. If you weren’t, has the author missed understanding the employer’s needs? Or have they just emphasized certain things and overlooked others?
  • Does the letter make the person applying seem like a good applicant; an unappealing applicant; or an outstanding applicant?
  • Explain why and how you made the judgment in #3. If the applicant was not an outstanding candidate, explain what you think the author needs to do to get into a higher pile.
  • Is the letter free of spelling, mechanical, and grammar errors? Let the author know about the errors you see.

HW for Wednesday: Read: Project Management and Organizing Teams (from the Professional and Technical Writing WikiBook)

NOTE: I’ll have your resumes & cover letter comments to you on Wednesday. Your final drafts of cover letters and resumes will now be due next Monday, 3/16, via our Assignment Uploader.
