Assignment 1: Cover Letter
Due Date: January 20th/January 22nd

Part 1:

1. Fill in the sheet “Dream Job”
2. Write a “Want ad” based on your job . . . a short paragraph is ok (2%). For example:
WANTED
Small, independent documentary company seeks junior researcher to assist in production. Responsibilities will include daily office tasks, online research, setting up interviews, and general assistance during filming. You will have a certificate from a recognized media studies programme and an interest in social justice.

Part 2:

Either:
1. Write a cover letter replying to your own dream job ad (you will definitely get it!) following the template I gave you in class.
OR
2. Write a cover letter to submit with your programme admission following the template I gave you in class.

Next week you need to hand in:
1. Dream job sheet (filled in by hand).
2. Want ad
3. A cover letter

You will receive a grade, and I will circle any errors. You must then submit a final cover letter, error free, for your grade to be recorded. If your first cover letter is perfect, you will not have to resubmit.
