تمرين 2

After you have written your job letter for Exercise 13.12 or 13.13, bring it to class and share it with a classmate.
Read your cover letter aloud to your classmate noting any changes you would like to make and any areas that may not sound appropriate.
Have your classmate reread your job letter and make suggestions to enhance it.
Swap letters and go through the exercise again. Write an e-mail to your instructor discussing the changes you will make to your job letter on the basis of this exercise.
Exercise 13.12
Write a letter of application in response to an announced opening for a full-time job (not an internship) you would like. Turn in a copy of the listing. If you use option (a) below, your listing will be a copy. If you choose option (b), you will write the listing.
a. Respond to an ad in a newspaper, in a professional journal, in the placement office, or on the web. Use an ad that specifies the company, not a blind ad. Be sure that you are fully qualified for the job.
b. If you have already worked somewhere, assume that your employer is asking you to apply for fulltime work after graduation. Be sure to write a fully persuasive letter
Exercise 13.13
Pick a company you'd like to work for and apply for a specific position that is not being advertised. The position can be one that already exists or one that you would create if you could to match your unique blend of talents.
Address your letter to the person with the power to create a job for you: the president of a small company, or the area vice president or branch manager of a large company.
Create a job description; give your instructor a copy of it with your letter.
