SOSC 116 Bryant  

Employment Document Package

Questions

• Explain the most important points you learned about your employment document package (resume and cover letter) from this class so far.
• Consider and detail what you have learned informally about employment documents. Remember, informal learning takes place outside of class and “in the real world.” For instance, you might reflect on and summarize your answers to any or all of the following questions:
  • Have you ever been rejected for a job and later found out there was something wrong or off putting about your resume and/or cover letter? What did that experience teach you?
  • Have you ever been hired for a position and later learned there was something specific in your resume or cover letter that impressed the hiring manager and led them to select you? What did that experience teach you?
  • Have you ever heard a supervisor or hiring manager at your place of employment talking about applicants for a position? What have you heard them say about other people’s employment documents (resume and cover letter)? What have those experiences taught you?
• Finally, compare and contrast the lessons you learned in this class (formal learning) with those you have learned informally about employment documents. Detail how formal and informal learning will impact the documents you submit when applying for a job.
