This JAL/Resume assignment was meant to give us practice and teach us proper technique and format for writing a job application letter and a resume. The job application letter and the resume are two very important documents that will be encountered in the workplace. I chose to use prompt #1, although technically I am not in the market at the moment, I do have work history, and I just had to do a resume for a summer job and decided to stay on prn until I have graduated school. I first started by doing the Resume/JAL Worksheet to help plan my resume. After I turned that in and received it back graded I made a couple changes and then started on my actual resume using all the information from my worksheet. After finishing my resume I used the other information on the worksheet to help make my application letter. My grade was a 93.8 % A on this JAL/Resume assignment. According to the teacher my strengths on the job application letter were that it was well organized, persuasive, and effective. I lost a few points for not putting my name and address in the letterhead, for not finding the actual person’s name to address the letter to, and for using I repeatedly in my sentence structure , so I guess those would be my weaknesses. On the resume my strength was that it was very well done according to the teacher. My weakness on the resume was using comic sans as the font which made it look less professional. The hardest part of the assignment was getting started and deciding what format to pick; once I did that the rest kind of fell into place. If I had to do this assignment again, I would change my font to Arial or New Times Roman on the resume and for the application letter I would do a better designed letterhead and change my sentence structure.
