At some point in your life, you're going to need a job, preferably one paying above minimum wage.

To get the kind of job your education is preparing you for (whether it's a co-op, a summer internship, or a full-time position), you'll need to apply. Burger Deluxe may only ask you to fill out an application, but everyone else wants at least a résumé, and probably a cover letter.

When you put together your job application materials, though, your goal isn't actually to get a job - it's to get an interview. The interview is where you actually get the job.

Goals:
After completing this module, you should be able to:

• Identify your strengths, highlighting skills and achievements.
• Identify sources that will lead to employment and learn to analyze job ads.
• Construct a résumé that effectively addresses a specific job ad.
• Write a persuasive cover letter.
