April 30 2018 Resumes and Cover Letters

Welcome! And Happy Monday

Today we are moving on with Cover Letters and Resumes in the IT Lab.

TTOC please request IT Lab Key from the Library.

Assignment today: All Cover Letters due today in addition to your draft Resumes.
Remember - you need to select a position from Work BC Revelstoke to direct your Cover Letter and Resume towards.

Click HERE for Cover Letter and Resume Template Info.
There are also samples for you to review in your MyBlueprint.ca accounts.

Re: Cover Letter - Min 2 Paragraphs. Paragraph 1 should have at least 3 of your personal job skills or abilities you have gained from your paid and or volunteer employment.

Click HERE for a sample Resume. Your resume should have a min of 3-4 bullet points with your duties clearly outlined for each of your past positions.

Note: Please write your Cover Letters and Resumes in Office365 vs. using the MyBluePrint.ca application as they will print much better.

Once you are done please print your Cover Letter and Resume Draft to provide to the TTOC.

If you are finished you can work on completing the rest of your MyBluePrint.ca sections.

Note: No other tabs other than noted above should be open during your work in the Lab.
