Directions
For this assignment, students will write an employment application message in the form of a formal email. Use one of the websites listed in Table 18.2 on page 521 to find a job opening in your target profession. Select a job opening that you are currently qualified for or a job opening that you will be qualified for when you graduate.
Write an email message that would serve as your application message if you were to apply for the job you selected. Base your application message on your actual qualifications for the position. Pay special attention to the Writing Application Letters outlined in Chapter 19 of the course textbook. Use Figure 19.1 Solicited Application Message on page 547 and Figure 19.3 Complementing Your Resume with an application Message as examples. You are writing a solicited application message in the form of an email. Do not use Figure 19.2 Unsolicited Application Letter as an example. Apply the AIDA organizational approach (see page 348/349) when writing your application message.
The email should use formal formatting (salutation, closing, recipient’s name, accurate subject line). A minimum of three paragraphs with at least four complete sentences per paragraph should be provided. The formal email guidelines apply. Do not use slang, contractions, or informal language in your message. Include the job description as an attachment when you submit your email.
Note: You are not sending an email to your instructor. You are creating an application message in the form of an email, addressed to the contact listed on the job opening, and submitting it as an attachment for grading. The email should be written in a Word document and submitted as an attachment.
