Cover letter

For this assignment, you will identify an employment opportunity you are interested in (psychology major and I want to be a counselor/psychologist. I do not have experience so it is just pretend) This might be a job you are currently considering or a job you hope to obtain in the future. You will create both a cover letter responding to your desired job opportunity and a reflection about the process you used to gather information about that job and the company.

This assignment shows how effectively you are able to construct a piece of writing appropriate for a career- or discipline-specific situation.
