Nursing

The major project due in Module 8 is going to be a portfolio of work leading up to a resume and cover letter. For this assignment, I want you to analyze the job posting you located for the Job Posting Audience Analysis and analyzed in the Job Posting Persuasive Analysis. The resume and cover letter you submit here is a  draft of what will be due in the final portfolio in Module 8. The instructions included below are for the  final draft, but you will receive full credit for this submission so long as you submit a draft at any stage of completion.

Cover Letter

The first page of this single-document submission should be a one page, single spaced cover letter. The cover letter must be four paragraphs long (intro, conclusion, and two body paragraphs) and must contain a thesis that addresses both your appropriateness for the position (why you would be the best choice) and indicates the topic of each body paragraph that follows (and thus supports your claim that you are the best fit for the position). The cover letter must be formatted as a letter (see page 148/section 9.4, figure 9.3 of the text book for an example). The intro must clearly identify the position being applied for, and the conclusion must offer contact information.

Resume

The second page of this single-document submission should be a one-page, single spaced resume. The resume must be a standard resume. Use the example on page 143/section 9.3, figure 9.1 of the textbook for an example, but do not follow the example blindly! You are required to use bullet points for the information provided under each job and degree title. An objective statement should be included, but it should be no longer than one line (including any header), and should not contain any nouns or pronouns. The font should be no larger than 12 points (except in headers), and all lists should be parallel. 

Be sure to utilize the information from the textbook regarding organization of information (Chapter 5 from Module 3) and lists (from Module 6).
