Job Description

A broad, general, and written statement of a specific job, based on the findings of a job analysis. It generally includes duties, purpose, responsibilities, scope, and working conditions of a job along with the job's title, and the name or designation of the person to whom the employee reports. Job description usually forms the basis of job specification. (businessdictionary.com)

The Job Description will be from a real company and is hiring for a real position. Now… this position will be within the career field that you desire to be in after graduation. This position does not necessarily need to be in line with your current concentration.

…And PLEASE choose a Job Description that you contend that you are qualified for currently or at graduation.

Resume Cover Letter (monster.com) A lot of job seekers today wonder if a cover letter is still appropriate to send with your resume—and the answer is yes! And just like with your resume, you should make a customized version that talks about how your skills will benefit the particular company that you want to work for, and demonstrate how you have done some research into what the organization's pain points are. Remember: You're selling yourself in a resume and a cover letter, but the employer has to “want” to buy.

The basic elements of a cover letter

 Greeting: Address your cover letter to the proper person.  Opening: Write a personable, inviting opening paragraph that highlights how your skills are a perfect

fit to the job.  Hook: Highlight your past achievements as they relate to the job you're applying for.  Skills: Highlight additional relevant skills, such as computer languages or certifications.  Close: Briefly recap your strengths as a candidate, and include your contact information.

Re: Customer Service Representative Opening (Ref. ID: CS300-Denver)

Dear Ms. West:

I was excited to see your opening for a customer service rep, and I hope to be invited for an interview. My background includes serving as a customer service associate within both call-center and retail environments. Most recently, I worked on the customer service desk for Discount-Mart, where my responsibilities included handling customer merchandise returns, issuing refunds/store credits, flagging damaged merchandise for shipment back to vendors and providing back-up cashiering during busy periods.

Previously, I worked within two high-volume customer-support call centers for a major telecommunications carrier and a satellite television services provider. In these positions, I demonstrated the ability to resolve a variety of issues and complaints (such as billing disputes, service interruptions or cutoffs, repair technician delays/no-shows and equipment malfunctions). I consistently met my call-volume goals, handling an average of 56 to 60 calls per day. In addition to this experience, I gained considerable customer service skills during my part-time employment as a waitress and restaurant hostess while in high school.

I also bring to the table strong computer proficiencies in MS Word, MS Excel and CRM database applications and a year of college (business major). Please see the accompanying resume for details of my experience and education. I am confident that I can offer you the customer service, communication and problem-solving skills you are seeking. Feel free to call me at 555-555-5555 (home) or 555-555-5500 (cell) to arrange an interview. Thank you for your time—I look forward to learning more about this opportunity!

Sincerely,

Sue Ling Enclosure: Resume
