GLC2O – Career Studies
Evaluation #4 - Producing a Resume, Cover Letter, Job Application & Doing
a Job Interview
Two of the most important documents you will ever possess are your Resume
and Cover Letter. These are written by you, to advertise yourself as the ideal
candidate for a job position. The resume and cover letter change with you and
as you gain more and more life experiences and formal qualifications you will
work and re-work them to fit the current times.
Your job is to create a resume or revise an old one. Use sample resumes online
as a model. Be sure to include:
• personal info
• education
• objective
• skills
• accomplishments
• at least 3 references
For this assignment you will create your own resume and cover letter, tailored
towards your application to Tim Hortons. You will also need to fill out and
complete the Tim Hortons application that is attached in this package. They will
be the starting point for your future jobs/careers; because of this your resume
must be real and reflect the skills and experiences that you have. When
completing this assignment you should refer to your class notes and examples.
You will need to hand in the following:
• Good Copy of your Typed Resume (You may use a fake contact
information if you are not comfortable using it)
• Good Copy of your Typed Cover Letter (you can use a fake job, address
and company name if you like, it does not have to be for a real job but
should meet the criteria for a good cover letter, i.e. describes relevant
experience or skills.)
• The completed Tim Hortons job application.
• AND be prepared to be interviewed for the position.
