Writing
Department
of
English
University of Texas at
Arlington
You will need to find an
actual
job announcement that advertises a position for which
you are qualified. Search national job sites like
Monster.com
,
Employmentguide.com
,
Careerbuilder.com
, an
d
USAJobs.gov
. Also review pages 153
-
154 for a discussion of
various sources for finding out about a job opening.
Research the Company or Organization.
You must research the company or
organization that advertised the job announcement. You can research th
e company in a
variety of ways. For instance, you can find the company’s Website if one is available; or
you may obtain a copy of the company's annual report; or, if you know someone who
works for that company, you can network with employees of the company
The goal here is for you to become more informed about the company in general
—
its
product line, its past and current successes, and its plans for future development. Ideally,
you should use some of this information to your advantage in your application l
etter. The
best application letters not only demonstrate how you are well qualified, but also show
how you can make specific contributions to the company. Remember that the chief aim
of an application letter is to help you get an interview. Your letter sho
uld persuade the
reader that you are the best applicant for the position.
Requirements for the Application Letter
Review the information on application letters in Chapter 9 and write a job application
letter with an effective introduction, body, and concl
usion. The job
-
application letter,
which is the first thing the reader sees, expands upon a few of the points made in the
resume. The typical letter has at least three parts, and your letter should have all of them:
•
Introduction
. The first paragraph establishes why you are writing to your
reader. State that you are looking for a particular position and explain why
you
would like to work at that particular company. You should also identify the
source where you find the job
opening information. Forecast the body of the
letter by stating your major qualifications for the job.
•
Body
. The body of the letter develops each qualification (education
and
experience) with specific evidence. The goal is to show that you know what the
em
ployer needs and that you meet the requirements. You may organize this
section around your education, around your training and experience, or around
2
what the job or the company requires.
•
Conclusion
. You should end the letter politely and inclu
de a reference to the
enclosed resume, a request for an interview, and your phone number and e
-
mail
address.
Format.
Your letter must meet all the formatting requirements of a good business
letter. .

Effective ResumesEffective Resumes
Preparing a good resume (sometimes called a CV, which stands for
curriculum vitae) for potential employers to see is a crucial step in a successful job
search, and is something that can make the difference between getting the desired
interview or not. Your resume is a representation of all you have done or
accomplished in your professional and educational life, and it should be thought of
as a kind of marketing tool that will likely precede a personal meeting with a
potential employer.

General ConsiderationsGeneral Considerations
• Employer’s Use of Resumes
• Length- 1-2 pages
• Goals- You are trying to sell yourself
• Writing style should be as concise as
possible
• Layout and appearance is crucial!
Employers will use resumes as a way of deciding the people they will
call in for an interview- your resume, therefore, is literally the foot in the door of the
job you are trying to get. Without a strong and well-written resume, you are going to
have a very difficult time of distinguishing yourself from the dozens (or hundreds!) of
candidates that are competing for the same position. An employer is likely to skim a
stack of resumes very quickly, tossing aside the ones that don’t measure up. You
may not have much control over this process, but at least you can be sure you’ve
put together the best possible resume you can at that particular point in your career.
A good resume should be either one or two pages, and rarely ever
any more. It should also not be less than a page, as this doesn’t reflect well on your
skills or experience. If you do need to use two pages, the second page should be at
least more than half filled- if you are at a page and a quarter, for example, look for a
way to condense your writing or layout to make one full page. Be sure also to
include your name on the second page, just in case it gets separated from the first.
Your basic goal in writing in resume, and what you should always
keep in mind, is that you are trying to sell yourself to a potential employer. Why
should this company hire you? What do you have to offer in terms of your skills and
experience? This is your chance to put your best foot forward and convince
someone of why you are the person that is best for the job. You are not boasting-
you are simply advertising plainly and truthfully what you have to offer.

The writing style of a resume should be very concise and spare. A
resume normally uses short phrases and fragments. Note that you are not using the
same writing style as you would for an essay. For example, instead of saying, “I

This presentation is part of Job Hunting Skills training delivered in SDC, it focuses on how to write a good resume and on the tips and tricks for a good interview.
Tower of Hanoi is a mathematical puzzle where we have three rods and n disks. The objective of the puzzle is to move the entire stack to another rod, obeying the following simple rules:
1) Only one disk can be moved at a time.
2) Each move consists of taking the upper disk from one of the stacks and placing it on top of another stack i.e. a disk can only be moved if it is the uppermost disk on a stack.
3) No disk may be placed on top of a smaller disk.
Approach :
Take an example for 2 disks :
Let rod 1 = 'A', rod 2 = 'B', rod 3 = 'C'.
Step 1 : Shift first disk from 'A' to 'B'.
Step 2 : Shift second disk from 'A' to 'C'.
Step 3 : Shift first disk from 'B' to 'C'.
The pattern here is :
Shift 'n-1' disks from 'A' to 'B'.
Shift last disk from 'A' to 'C'.
Shift 'n-1' disks from 'B' to 'C'.

ENVSTY 101 memo #1 calls on you to describe two examples of the na.docxkhanpaulita
ENVSTY 101 memo #1 calls on you to describe two examples of the natural capital (natural resources and ecosystem services) thatyou encounter as you travel between two locations on a regular basis. An example might be the natural capital that you observe on a regular walk to the grocery store, a drive to a relative’s house, or a Train/bike ride to University. The memo should be between 600-750 words, so it requires that you provide some detailed description of the two types of natural capital you observe, as well as your analysis of the ecosystem services they provide. You must cite at least one source (for instance, the City of Boston, Mass Dept of Transportation, MBTA, Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, etc.) for each example and include a References or Works Cited page of properly cited sources as an appendix (this page will not count toward the word limit).
To help you along, I’m providing an outline of a memo below that gives you a template to follow:
To: ENVSTY 101 class
From: student name
Date: due date (or submission date if earlier)
Subject: [state the assignment question/issue/topic, e.g., Natural capital between ______________ and ______________.
I. Restate the question/issue/topic
This memo provides a description of two types of natural resources and the respective ecosystem services they support that I observe on a regular basis as I travel between ______________ and _______.
II. Describe the trip you take, including information about your method of transportation, how long the trip takes, the general environment you’re passing through, and how your mode of transportation affects the observations you’re able to make (for example, a bike ride provides different opportunities for observations than a walk or a subway trip).
III. In two paragraphs, describe your two examples of natural capital. For each example/paragraph, describe:
· what natural resource(s) you observe [e.g. trees, open fields]
· what ecosystem services are provided and how they serve society
· what condition the natural capital is in [e.g., healthy, degraded] and why
· whether it is likely or not to endure as a sustainable.
Cite relevant sources as evidence supporting your analysis.
IV. Conclusion
As outlined above, on my regular trip between __________ and ____, I observe two significant examples of natural capital. [Now make a few comparative/contrasting reflections that tell us what you can conclude from these different observations.]

…, but there is a clear distinction to selling…Selling simply refers to pushing an transaction
In its most ambitious sense, marketing should render selling unnecessary. “… The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well that the product or service fits him and sells itself. Ideally, marketing should result in a customer who is ready to buy” (Peter Drucker, 1973)
Example:

Environmentalism and Moral Concern for Animals
Many believe that we are in serious trouble today as human beings plunging headlong into a major climate crisis on planet earth.
Our course eText on Environmental Ethics states the following:
There is no denying that the global climate is changing, as the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased during the past century. … Coastlines are crumbling as the climate changes and sea levels rise… storms are increasing in severity … the Arctic ice cap is melting… (MacKinnon, 427).
But what’s causing these troubling changes? We are. MacKinnon again:
Some skeptics dispute whether the changes are entirely man-made, but the vast majority of experts believe one of the major causes of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels … (MacKinnon, 428).
And the human disregard for nature also means disregard for all species of animals that depend on livable natural habitats. Entire species today are threatened with immanent extinction. Writing in 2016, MacKinnon says “687 animal species are listed as either endangered or threatened.” That number has risen drastically since 2016, leading some scientists to conclude that we are in the midst of a global mass extinction of animal species.
The following video link and quoted material provide: 1) a summary of a U.N. Climate Change Report from 2019 (the video), and 2) an explanation of the meaning of speciesism as Dr. Richard Ryder first used it (the quotation ). After reviewing these, please respond to the discussion questions listed below.
U.N. Climate Change Report:
LINK (Links to an external site.)
On Dr. Richard Ryder's use of the term speciesism (which term the moral philosopher Peter Singer later made more popular):
“The view that only humans are morally considered is sometimes referred to as ‘speciesism’. In the 1970s, Richard Ryder coined this term while campaigning in Oxford to denote a ubiquitous type of human centered prejudice, which he thought was similar to racism. He objected to favoring one’s own species, while exploiting or harming members of other species” (Gruen, Lori, "The Moral Status of Animals",

What human beliefs or values today will more likely prevent needed changes in our way of life, methods of production, or government policies? And what beliefs or values will more likely lead to the kind of changes needed to address the climate crisis?
[2] Do you think humans are biased against animals, as moral philosophers like Peter Singer express with the term speciesism, and do you think this speciesism is comparable to other human biases such as racism, as Richard Ryder claimed in the 1970s? Why or why .

ENVIRONMENTALISM ITS ARTICLES OF FAITHNorthwest Environmental J.docxkhanpaulita
ENVIRONMENTALISM: ITS ARTICLES OF FAITH
Northwest Environmental Journal Vol. 5:1, (1989) p. 100
Victor Scheffer
Here I offer an interpretation of environmentalism, a body of principles and practices so recently manifest in national thought that its meanings are still disputed. It is called, for example, "a theology of the earth," "a religion of self restraint," and "a science rooted in resource management and ecology." I define it broadly as "a movement toward understanding humankind's natural bases of support while continuously applying what is learned toward perpetuating those bases."
The word environmentalism entered the American vernacular during the 1960s. An editorial in Science (Klopsteg 1966) noted that "one of the newest fads in Washington-and elsewhere-is 'environmental science.' The term has political potency even if its meaning is vague and questionable." Environmentalism was at first perceived by the public as merely a response to a crisis, but it quickly proved more than that. As Lord Ashby (1978:3) explained to a Stanford University group:
A crisis is a situation that will pass; it can be resolved by temporary hardship, temporary adjustment, technological and political expedients. What we are experiencing is not a crisis, it is a climacteric. For the rest of man's history on earth. . . he will have to live with problems of population, of resources, of pollution.
The vision of environmentalism is to preserve those things in nature which will allow the human enterprise, or civilization, to endure and improve. (I use the word nature for the world without humans, a concept which-like the square root of minus one-is unreal, but useful.) Because civilization depends absolutely on surroundings that are healthful and stimulating, environmentalism aims to protect both material and spiritual values. At the risk of oversimplifying, 1 review five articles of faith which support and energize the environmental movement. They reflect ideas developed by "earthkeepers" from the time of George Perkins Marsh (1801-1882) down to the present.
1) All things are connected. The cosmos is a set of dependencies so complex that its boundaries lie forever beyond understanding. Simply lifting a spadeful of garden soil disturbs a trillion protistan lives, impinges on the lifter's muscles and mind, and changes the landscape. The poet who mused, "Thou canst not stir a flower without troubling of a star," was struck by the unitary connectedness of all matter (Thompson 1966 [1897]:19). He was an environmentalist before his time. Now we technological beings have Spun a web of change around the whole earth and nearby space. Our artifacts range in scale from radiations and molecules to mountains and lakes. Yet never will we understand completely the spinoff effects of the environmental changes that we create, nor will we measure Our own,' independent influence in their creation. Consider the mysterious decline in the numbers of fur seals breeding on A.

2. Population growth
3. Poverty and inequality
4. Institutions
Sustainable Development
Definition
What does sustainable development mean in economic terms?
I Continuous economic progress
I Natural capital stock should not decrease over time
Economic growth and environmental quality
The trade-off
Pessimistic view:
I There is a trade-off between economic growth and
environmental quality
I The current generation must stop growing to ensure the well
being of future generations
Evidence
I There are serious environmental dangers associated with
economic growth
I Depletion of exhaustible energy resources
I Such as coal and oil
I Deterioration of the environment
I Through such as CO2 emissions and other greenhouse gases
I Many examples illustrate the negative effect of economic
growth on environmental quality
I Pollution in Mexico city, Tehran, London during
industrialization
Environmental quality could improve with wealth
Some people, however, argue that environmental degradation is
only temporary
Environmental Kuznets Curve
Environmental quality improves with wealth
Recent research finds EKC for certain pollutants:
I Local pollutants (SO2): evidence
I As we become richer, we take care of our local environment
I Global pollutants (CO2): no evidence
I Taking care of our local environment, does not guarantee
better global environment
Technological progress
Optimistic view
The largest criticisms of the Club of Rome is that technological
progress was not taken into account
I New growth theories can reconcile economic growth with
environmental constraints
I New growth theory is based on innovations and directed
technical change

Environmental PoliciesThe National Park Service manages all the .docxkhanpaulita
Environmental Policies
The National Park Service manages all the national parks in the U.S. The agency also is tasked with the management of the monument. According to the environmental policy, the main purpose of this body is to offer recreational activities for citizens and at the same time preserving the ecosystems (Dale, 2015). The BLM and the Forest Service, on the other hand, plays the role of extraction of resources like timbers. The U.S Forest service agency operates within the U.S Department of Agriculture administering the national grasslands and forests. The Bureau of Land Management operates under the United States Department of the Interior tasked with the distribution of public land. Unlike the forest service which has land all over the country, BLM land is only located in the western half of the country.
Wild Horse and Burro Act are one of the agencies formed under federal land management to preserve the native plants. The act formed in 1971 had direct effects on the Bureau of land management since it limited the techniques of BLM eliminating wild horses or rather animals that could sustain oneself on the BLM lands but instead require their protection (Loomis, 2002). Initially, the BLM was of the idea that those animals be killed, but it had to change their direction and adopted a Horse program. The program used a more humane approach and responded to the growing population of the non-native species and the adverse effects they had on the native plants as well as the wildlife populations on BLM lands. The sole function of this agency was to protect the endangered species and ensure their continuity. The endangered species Act's roles revolve around conserving the threatened and endangered plants and the habitat they are found. The act has influenced the operations of the Wild Horse and Burro Act through funding it as well as foreseeing its operations so that it remains true to its mission of ensuring the continuation of the existence of species.

Environmental Factors
In this assignment, you will have a chance to discuss a topic that brings personality theory together with social psychology. Dealing with unhealthy groups like gangs or cults is an important issue in social psychology. However, you cannot fully address this issue if you do not first understand personality development and how one’s personality affects the choices that are made. Specifically, you will look at Skinner’s behavioral perspective on personality development and discuss how that theory can play a role in this issue of unhealthy groups.
Bob is an adolescent who grew up in a gang-infested part of a large city. His parents provided little supervision while he was growing up and left Bob mostly on his own. He developed friendships with several kids in his neighborhood who were involved in gangs, and eventually joined a gang himself. Now crime and gang activities are a way of life for Bob. These have become his way to identify with his peer group and to support himself.
It is relatively easy to see that Bob’s environment has played a large role in his current lifestyle. This coincides with Skinner’s concept of environment being the sole determinant of how personality develops. Skinner believed that if you change someone’s environment and the reinforcements in that environment, you can change their behavior.
Use the Internet, Argosy University library resources, and your textbook to research Skinner’s concept of the environment and answer the following questions:
If you were to create an environment for Bob to change his behavior from that of a gang member to a respectable and law-abiding citizen, what types of environmental changes and positive reinforcements would you suggest and why?
What are some interventions that are used in the field currently? Are there any evidence-based programs that use these environmental and reinforcement interventions?
Write your initial response in 2–3 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

various sources for finding out about a job opening.
Research the Company or Organization.
You must research the company or
organization that advertised the job announcement. You can
research th
3. e company in a
variety of ways. For instance, you can find the company’s
Website if one is available; or
you may obtain a copy of the company's annual report; or, if
you know someone who
works for that company, you can network with employees of the
company
The goal here is for you to become more informed about the
company in general
—
its
product line, its past and current successes, and its plans for
future development. Ideally,
you should use some of this information to your advantage in
your application l
etter. The
best application letters not only demonstrate how you are well
qualified, but also show
how you can make specific contributions to the company.
Remember that the chief aim
of an application letter is to help you get an interview. Your
letter sho
uld persuade the
4. reader that you are the best applicant for the position.
Requirements for the Application Letter
Review the information on application letters in Chapter 9 and
write a job application
letter with an effective introduction, body, and concl
usion. The job
-
application letter,
which is the first thing the reader sees, expands upon a few of
the points made in the
resume. The typical letter has at least three parts, and your
letter should have all of them:
•
Introduction
. The first paragraph establishes why you are writing to your
reader. State that you are looking for a particular position and
explain why
you
would like to work at that particular company. You should also
identify the
5. source where you find the job
opening information. Forecast the body of the
letter by stating your major qualifications for the job.
•
Body
. The body of the letter develops each qualification (education
and
experience) with specific evidence. The goal is to show that you
know what the
em
ployer needs and that you meet the requirements. You may
organize this
section around your education, around your training and
experience, or around
2
what the job or the company requires.
•
6. Conclusion
. You should end the letter politely and inclu
de a reference to the
enclosed resume, a request for an interview, and your phone
number and e
-
mail
address.
Format.
Your letter must meet all the formatting requirements of a
good business
letter. It should use the
block format
. If possible, wr
i
te no mor
e than one page. The
letter should contain all the elements covered in Chapter 10:
•
7. Heading (sender’s
address)
•
Date
•
Inside address (full address, including title, for the person who
is
addressed)
•
Salutation

Body text (introduction, body,
conclusion)
•
Complimentary closing ("Sincerely," or "Sincerely
yours,")
•
Signature
8. •
Typed
name
•

Resume”)
Requirements for the Resume
The purpose of the résumé is to describe your qualifications for
work. Review the
information on résumés in Cha
pter 9 carefully and then design and write a professional
résumé.
You should create a
reverse chronological résumé
tailored for the specific job opening.
Your résumé must contain all the following elements:
•
Heading (full name, address, phone, and email
add
9. ress)
•
Education (schools, majors, minors, and dates of
graduation)
•
Work Experience (employer’s name, the position you old, and a
list or description
of duties and responsibilities for each
position)
•
Certifications
(optional)
•
Interests and
Activities
(optional)
Your style should be formal. You need not use comple
te sentences, but you should use a
10. concise, active style and show consistency in expression from
section to section. When
making lists, be sure to use the
parallel structure
(They should match one another in
tense and form).

(20 pts):

Employers impose strict standards of correctness on job
application
materials. Accordingly, I will mark this assignment on a stricter

terms of correctness. If any letter or resum

single
typographical or
grammatical error, you cannot receive an A on this assignment.
Warning Again
st Copying from Online Job Application Materials!
While you can find unlimited samples of job application
materials on the Internet, do not
attempt to copy from those samples. The point of this
assignment is for you to learn how
15. to compose a letter and cr
eate a resume to persuade your audience to give you an
interview.
Therefore, it is NOT acceptable to
copy sentences, paragraphs, or
descriptions of work experience you found elsewhere.
You may use the format of a sample resume, but not any of its
content.
If you copy sentences, paragraphs, or descriptions of work
experience you found in
online samples,
Unicheck
will detect and report the copied content. In this case,
you cannot get a 70 or above on this assignment, even if you
cite the sources.
