Career Packet
Your Career Packet will consist of four items; a Job Description, Cover Letter, Resume, and a Reference
page. You will need to complete all four items and upload them to TITANium as 1 Document.
As discussed and shown in class, use job search engines such as LinkedIn, Career Builder, and Company
Websites to search for a job you would like to apply to. You do not have to actually apply to the job, but
I suggest applying if you are in search of a job and it interests you. Be sure formatting in your career
packet is linear and flows; it does not look unorganized or disruptive.
Possible Job Boards:
1. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/
2. Career Builder: http://www.careerbuilder.com/
3. Jobs.com: http://www.jobs.com/
4. Indeed: https://www.indeed.com/
PLEASE COMPELTE PACKET IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER:
Item 1: Cover Letter
30 Points: 1 Page
Write a 1-Page max Cover Letter to the job you are applying to. This is one of the most important
aspects of an application, because it gives the company reasoning to why you are applying to the job
and why you think you are fit for this position; something a resume might not be able to do.
• You can see Cover Page samples on pages 574-575 in your textbook.
Required Texts:
1. Mary Ellen Guffey & Dana Loewy. Business Communication: Process & Product, 8th edition +
Aplia (bundle). Cengage, 2014.
Item 2: Resume (1-2 Pages)
40 Points: 1-2 Page(s)
You resume is the backbone of your application and can make or break if an employer wants to continue
with you for an interview. Make sure your resume consists of the following sections: Contact
Information, Objective, Education, and Experience. It is up to you to add any additional items to your
resume. Try to add a couple more sections to highlight some additional information about yourself, such
as “Honors/Awards,” or even “Languages.” Be sure formatting is linear/flows; does not look disruptive.
• You can see Resume samples on pages 560-563 of your textbook.
Item 3: References
20 Points: 1 Page
References are great to have in a resume because it tells the employer you have professional people to
contact in case they have additional questions about your study habits, work ethics, or even just
personal experience. Please include a reference page with at least three contacts.
• You can see a Reference sample on page 559 of your textbook.
Item 4: Job Description
10 Points: 1-? Page(s)
Find a job you would like to apply to. Print out the job posting/description from the website you found it
on. Be sure to save it as a PDF, photo (JPG), so you can include it in your career packet. It is important to
Spring 2017 – BUAD 201
always print out job postings after you apply, in case you receive a call back from the company about
your resume. When you apply to multiple jobs, you may forget some important key details for certain
jobs. When they are printed and filed away, you can always revert back to the posting.
