Critical Thinking Problem

6. Project yourself three years past your graduation date. During those years, you have had good experience working for the company of your choice in the field of your choice. (Use your imagination to supply this information). Unfortunately, your progress hasn’t been what you had expected. You think that you must look around for a better opportunity. Your search through the classified advertisement in your area newspapers, online, and in The Wall Street Journal turns up one promising possibility (you find it). Write a cover message that skillfully presents your qualifications for this job. (You may make logical assumptions about your experience over the three-year period). For class purposes, attach the advertisement to your message. (You may need to scan the advertisement and then upload it).
