Resume/SWOT/Cover Letter

This assignment provides you with an opportunity to complete three major items: a cover letter, a resume, and a
professional strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis. The cover letter should be a threeparagraph
memo that has been tailored to a specific job that interests you. The resume should adhere to the steps
outlined in Chapter 14 (see page 206). The details within the resume must be current with all relevant and up-to-date
information. The SWOT analysis should address your professional strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.
Bullet points are acceptable for the resume and SWOT analysis; however, they must be detailed. Again, the cover letter
must include three paragraphs. Also, the resume must be at least one page, and the SWOT analysis must thoroughly
address each of the four parts of the analysis. Be sure to have the major items in the proper sequence: first, the cover
letter; then, the resume; and finally, the SWOT analysis. Format each major item as you wish; however, be sure the
details are professional and legible. Save all three within one word-processing document (e.g., Word) before submitting
the file in Blackboard for grading.
