See pg#394-396 for examples.Instructions:You will write a 1 page cover letter addressing the company that you’ve found (job posting assignment). Note: If your job posting happens to be for your future career, you may include the required experiences in your letter. Also, we will be using Turnitin Submissions to check for plagiarism. Directions: In your cover letter, you should:Be as clear as possible about the kind of opportunity you seek.Show that you understand the company and the position.Never volunteer salary information unless an employer asks for it.Keep it short—no more than three or four paragraphs.Show some personality and include keywords found in the job post.Project confidence without being arrogant.Don’t just repeat the information from your résumé.Note: Application letter is the same as a Cover letter.A solicited application letter is in response to an announced job opening and you’ll usually know what qualifications the organization is seeking.An unsolicited application letter is sent to an organization that has not announced an opening, so you’ll need to do some research to identify the requirements the position is likely to have.Tips: Because application letters are persuasive messages, please use the AIDA (pg#226) approach to organize them.The opening paragraph of your application letter has two important tasks to accomplish:Clearly stating your reason for writingGiving the recipient a reason to keep reading by demonstrating that you have some immediate potential for meeting the company’s needsTo build interest and create a desire in the middle section of your application letter, try to:Be specific and back up your assertions with convincing evidence.Be sure to discuss each requirement specified in the ad (if you’re writing a solicited letter).Mention salary requirements only if the organization has asked you to state them.Refer the reader to your résumé by citing a specific fact or general point covered there.The final paragraph of your application letter has two important functions:To ask the reader for a specific action (usually an interview)To facilitate a replyTo motivate action, you should:Offer to come to the employer’s office (or its nearest representative) at a convenient time.Include your email address and phone number, as well as the best time to reach you, or you could take the initiative and say that you will follow up with a phone call.

question 1After reading the assigned pages from the Victoria Business School’s “Example of a Finished Report,” you will answer a series of questions. Your responses should run 1-2 sentences per question. These questions will help you prepare for your own business report. Provide feedback for one classmate’s answers.Please download the document, “How to Write a Business Report,” from Victoria University. The document is linked to in Content for Week 3.Please access page 26 of the document, “An Example of a Finished Report.”Review the report, which covers pages 27-41.Please respond to this discussion topic by answering the following questions. Your answers can be 1-2 sentences:What problem is the author addressing?Where in the report does the author cite secondary research? You can mention one or two pages.What types of primary research does the author cite in the report? You can give one or two examples. (Due to the Corona virus pandemic you may not be able to do primary research for your later writing assignments, the proposal memo and research report; however, it’s important that you know how and why this research is used in business reports.)Consider your Research-Based Report for this class. What problem might you address in your workplace, school, or community? question 2Please examine the sample synthesis literature review, “Employee Retention and Turnover.” (BE AWARE: This paper is cited and lists references using APA 6th Edition)(The review can be found in the Week 3 Content or under the Content heading “Sample Papers for WRTG 394.”)Answer the following questions. Post your answers as your response to this discussion topic.1. Discuss how well the student has synthesized the sources (base your response on your review of the sample synthesis essays and the video located in the Content area for Weeks #2 and #3). Note one area where synthesis was well done. Explain in a sentence or two why the synthesis was effective in this part of the paper.Note one area where synthesis could have been improved. Explain in a few sentences why the synthesis was not particularly effective in this part of the paper.2. Check to see if the student writer has provided at least one citation for every source listed in the references for the student’s paper. Note whether the student has done this successfully or has failed to cite any source(s). Why is citing all sources listed as references important?

Paragraph #1: Introduction.Describe the scene/setting of the interview. Introduce/describe the person you are interviewing.Introduce the topic of the essay.Thesis – Dominant Impression – last sentence in the introduction.Paragraphs #2-4: Body paragraphs.- Begin each of these paragraphs with a topic sentence that aligns with the dominant impression. – Vary quotes and paraphrases, pulled from your interview. – Remember the quote sandwich! – Always begin and end body paragraphs with YOUR writing voice (not a quote or paraphrase). – Try to keep each body paragraph centered on ONE main idea. – Don’t forget to include descriptive details that allow your reader to SEE as well as HEAR your interview.- Aim for 3 well-developed body paragraphs.Paragraph #5: Conclusion.- Tie together the ideas/details you’ve already presented in your essay. – How might you reiterate (but NOT repeat) your dominant impression of your interviewee?- What’s one key idea you want your reader to know or understand after reading your essay?- What’s one really important quote you might end with? (NOTE: in academic essays, it’s best to keep quotes and paraphrases out of the conclusion.)Conducting the Interview (READ)Step 1: Brainstorm the PERSON/PURPOSE of your interview. Who do you want to interview, and why? What do you want to find out from this person? Remember to be specific with your topic. (For example, if I were interested in interviewing my friend who loves to travel, I might focus my questions on ONE specific trip my friend took to a specific place.)Step 2: Schedule the interview. Once you have chosen the person to interview, and you’ve narrowed down a topic, then you must contact that person and make an appointment for the interview. Ask your interviewee if they’re comfortable being interviewing on the topic you chose. You may want to have a conversation with your interviewee to help you make a final decision on the right topic. (I may want to interview my friend about her recent trip to Spain, but she may be more interested in talking about her trip to China — that’s ok!)Step 3: Write the interview questions. I recommend being prepared with a minimum of 15 interview questions that are focused on your topic. Make the questions clear and interesting, and keep them all focused on ONE topic. Questions that are well-phrased and thoughtful will produce answers that you will be able to actually use
