Researching a Job Ad
Task: Using any method you like, including sites such as USAJOBS and Monstercom, find a job ad online. Search for the corporation that has posted the job (do not use an ad that does not provide the corporation or organization). Look up the corporation's mission and objectives pages and look for keywords and other information that would correlate with the job ad, and would therefore help you sharply focus your cover letter and tailor your resume.
In your response, first write a paragraph that describes the correlation you found between the job ad and the information on the organization's site. Then write a paragraph explaining how you can use that information to write a more persuasive cover letter and resume.
