The red is the summary for the overview—the green link in box (on overview page) is what is

Many people will submit their resumés in hopes of being chosen to interview for a particular
position; however, those few individuals who are invited to interview are picked primarily on the
basis of the content and quality of their letter of application, their resumé, and their professional
references.
When you realize the competitive nature of a job search in the United States, the quality of your
communication with the employer acquires added importance. Your resumé, cover letter, and
thank you letter should be personalized, concise and error free documents that you have

with your current skills.
• Write a persuasive letter of application.
• Format and write a professional resumé that includes a professional reference page.
• Answer behavioral and situational employment interviews.
• Follow – up an interview with a properly drafted thank you letter.
Task 1: Job Search and Position Announcement
Begin this first task as a new document in MSWord.
Your first task is to find a position that is suitable with your current education and experience
level. This may be a full – time position, part – time position, or an internship; however, this
position must actually exist and be verifiable.
Once you find a suitable position, copy and paste this advertisement / job description into an
MSWord file and underline or highlight the specific job qualifications.

Covering Letter
This document provides guidance on writing an effective covering letter to accompany a resume when applying for jobs. The covering letter should introduce the applicant and highlight their strongest qualifications as they relate to the specific position. It should accomplish several aims - attract the reader's attention, clearly state why the applicant is interested in the role, and preview the relevant experience that will be detailed in the resume. The body of the letter then focuses on 2-3 qualifications, using concrete examples from the applicant's background to demonstrate how they would benefit the employer. The conclusion thanks the reader and requests an interview. Overall, the covering letter is meant to sell the applicant's qualifications and motivate the reader to learn more about them through the resume.

Basic Application Letter Construct
5 Paragraph Letter Format
While there are multiple ways to approach writing an application letter, we focus on this construct and I expect your work to be in the 5 paragraph construct.
You need an introduction that states you want the job. You need a body that describes how you have the ‘things’ they require and conclude with asking for an interview and offering your contact information. The next three slides offer more details on the sections.
1
Introduction –
State you’re apply for the job
If possible state some-kind-of connection to the organization
State a summary sentence (thesis)
Spark interest. Create curiosity.
Audience-centered attitude
Application Letter Construct
The introduction of an application letter is as important as all other first impressions. Remember, they are feeling you as they read, so create the experience through your words that you want them to have.
In the intro,
Be direct (remember that means telling upfront what you want – your purpose). State the job and your interest. Saying what you want in an assertive manner demonstrates confidence.
If you have a connection with that organization, talk about that, but be every-so-brief.
State a summary sentence – All communications need a thesis statement. And in that thesis statement inform the reader regarding specific focus – preview the 3 items you will detail in the body.
Create curiosity. Build their interest in you in the way you language.
Remember, once again, I tell you – be audience-centered. It’s about your contribution, not you.
Oh, and, this paragraph is NOT to be the longest one on the page. Typically it the second smallest with the conclusion being the smallest.

Body
Choose your points by studying the advertisement and selecting the top three requirements. Write to how you have these three.

Employment communication
This document provides guidance on writing job application letters and curriculum vitae (CVs). It discusses the key components and features of effective application letters, including catching the reader's attention, highlighting qualifications, and avoiding overly generic content. Tips for CV composition are also outlined, such as including sections on education, experience, skills, and references. Overall, the document emphasizes the importance of tailoring application materials to the specific role and writing in a clear, concise, and positive manner.
Letters of recommendation
The document discusses "The Rule of 10%" as it relates to letters of recommendation in the MBA application process. It states that letters of recommendation typically count for about 10% of the admissions decision. Applicants should spend about 10% of their application time focusing on letters, and should contribute no more than 10% of the work in developing the letters. Exceeding this 10% level of involvement risks negatively impacting the application or resulting in unauthentic letters that do not serve their intended verification purpose.

BUSM 4194 Leading for Change
Semester 1, 2014
Assessment Task 1: Leadership Development Report
Writing instructions and Marking Rubric
This assessment task is a REPORT.
The RMIT College of Business requires you to use a particular style of writing which involves both the way
the report is structured and the way that you acknowledge other people’s ideas used in your work.
The structuring of a report is very clearly described in the RMIT Study and Learning Centre Report Writing
Skills Online Tutorial available on the BUSM4194 course Blackboard site
Your first step in preparing for this assessment task should be to complete this tutorial.
Investing time before you start writing will result in a better report.
Your second step should be mastering the art of referencing. There are many styles of referencing in use in
different disciplines and geographical locations. You are required to use the RMIT Business Referencing
System. This is available to you via the Library website, in your course site on myRMIT and is uploaded to
the assessments folder in the BUSM 4194 course site. This is a 50 page document but reading it through will
be enormously helpful for you in this and future assessment tasks.
Make sure that you can clearly distinguish the difference between an essay (page 28 of the document) and
a report (page 36).
Remember: this current assessment task is a REPORT not an ESSAY.
The critical thinking element
We want you to be very comfortable with questioning everything you read and hear.
Anyone can remember facts and state other people’s views but a far more useful skill is to critically review
what you read and hear and decide for yourself how reliable, accurate, applicable, contemporary, objective
and fair it is.
In this report, your assessor will value the fact that you are able to see both benefits and deficiencies in a
particular theory. Make sure you look through the critical thinking exercises in the course site to get a clear
understanding of critical thinking!
How many references should I cite?
There is no right answer to this question because it all depends on what you write in your report. Some
statements you make in your report will certainly need a reference to support them.
So, to determine how many references you need to cite, first (as described in the report writing tutorial)
draw a mind map of ideas to go into your report and for each idea try to link it to a reference source.

Writing Effective Communications
General Instructions
Purpose
This examination will evaluate your ability to write an interoffice memorandum and an e-mail.
Preparation
Review the following sections in this study unit: “Interoffice
memorandums,” “Negative letters,” and “E-mails.” Your e-mail
should follow the format shown in Figure 15, with content
appropriate to the assignment—that is, a negative letter
written to solve a problem.
Background
Phoenix Advertising, with its main headquarters in Charlotte,
North Carolina, serves clients that include banks, insurance
companies, and retail chains.
You’re the vice president of human resources management at
Phoenix. You report directly to Gregory S. Forest, the company
president. Mr. Forest advises you that in the last month, four
clients have complained about the advertising work produced
by the Roanoke, Virginia branch of the agency. He reminds
you that the clients served from the Roanoke branch are vital
to the overall success of Phoenix Advertising.
Mr. Forest also explains the little he has been able to learn
about the situation at the branch: In the last three months,
two of the top management people—an art director and an
account executive—have left the agency. Three of the graphic
designers and four of the copywriters are threatening to quit
because they feel their creative efforts are being rejected
or revised without consultation. They want to be part of a
collaborative team, not to simply produce work that the art
directors and account executives can alter arbitrarily.
In an attempt to increase revenues, the branch is accepting
new clients without evaluating the effects of the new accounts
on the current project workload. As a result, without notice or
compensation for the additional hours, all salaried employees are required to work long hours several days each week.
Employee morale and productivity are declining day by day.
Process
Part A: Interoffice memorandum
Step 1
Begin by creating facts, figures, and people to flesh out the
above background information and your position in the company. The following questions are provided to jumpstart your
prewriting, but you must expand on them to brainstorm
thoroughly. In addition to listing details, also freewrite about
the Phoenix Advertising agency and its executive team.
• How large is the agency? How many branches does it
have? Where are the branches located?
• What’s the company’s mission? How does each branch
relate to that mission?
• What are the company’s primary business goals?
• What do clients need from Phoenix Advertising?
• Who are the people on the executive team (other vicepresidents of other departments)?
• Who’s in charge of the agency’s accounts in all
the branches?
• Who knows about policies for accepting and assigning
new accounts?
• Who knows about the policies for collaborative work
among account executives, art directors, graphic
designers, and copywriters?
• Are any other branches losing clients?
Now brainstorm a.

1
Introduction –
State you’re apply for the job
If possible state some-kind-of connection to the organization
State a summary sentence (thesis)
Spark interest. Create curiosity.
Audience-centered attitude
Application Letter Construct
The introduction of an application letter is as important as all other first impressions. Remember, they are feeling you as they read, so create the experience through your words that you want them to have.
In the intro,
Be direct (remember that means telling upfront what you want – your purpose). State the job and your interest. Saying what you want in an assertive manner demonstrates confidence.
If you have a connection with that organization, talk about that, but be every-so-brief.
State a summary sentence – All communications need a thesis statement. And in that thesis statement inform the reader regarding specific focus – preview the 3 items you will detail in the body.
Create curiosity. Build their interest in you in the way you language.
Remember, once again, I tell you – be audience-centered. It’s about your contribution, not you.
Oh, and, this paragraph is NOT to be the longest one on the page. Typically it the second smallest with the conclusion being the smallest.

Application Letter Construct
Body
Choose your points by studying the advertisement and selecting the top three requirements. Write to how you have these three.
Be thinking:
How do I set myself apart?
The key to getting called for an interview is in the connection you make in your letter. The winning strategy is to understand your potential employer’s top 3 qualification requirements and write to those items. Here’s how.

Employment communication
This document provides guidance on writing job application letters and curriculum vitae (CVs). It discusses the key components and features of effective application letters, including catching the reader's attention, highlighting qualifications, and avoiding overly generic content. Tips for CV composition are also outlined, such as including sections on education, experience, skills, and references. Overall, the document emphasizes the importance of tailoring application materials to the specific role and writing in a clear, concise, and positive manner.
Letters of recommendation
The document discusses "The Rule of 10%" as it relates to letters of recommendation in the MBA application process. It states that letters of recommendation typically count for about 10% of the admissions decision. Applicants should spend about 10% of their application time focusing on letters, and should contribute no more than 10% of the work in developing the letters. Exceeding this 10% level of involvement risks negatively impacting the application or resulting in unauthentic letters that do not serve their intended verification purpose.

BUSM 4194 Leading for Change
Semester 1, 2014
Assessment Task 1: Leadership Development Report
Writing instructions and Marking Rubric
This assessment task is a REPORT.
The RMIT College of Business requires you to use a particular style of writing which involves both the way
the report is structured and the way that you acknowledge other people’s ideas used in your work.
The structuring of a report is very clearly described in the RMIT Study and Learning Centre Report Writing
Skills Online Tutorial available on the BUSM4194 course Blackboard site
Your first step in preparing for this assessment task should be to complete this tutorial.
Investing time before you start writing will result in a better report.
Your second step should be mastering the art of referencing. There are many styles of referencing in use in
different disciplines and geographical locations. You are required to use the RMIT Business Referencing
System. This is available to you via the Library website, in your course site on myRMIT and is uploaded to
the assessments folder in the BUSM 4194 course site. This is a 50 page document but reading it through will
be enormously helpful for you in this and future assessment tasks.
Make sure that you can clearly distinguish the difference between an essay (page 28 of the document) and
a report (page 36).
Remember: this current assessment task is a REPORT not an ESSAY.
The critical thinking element
We want you to be very comfortable with questioning everything you read and hear.
Anyone can remember facts and state other people’s views but a far more useful skill is to critically review
what you read and hear and decide for yourself how reliable, accurate, applicable, contemporary, objective
and fair it is.
In this report, your assessor will value the fact that you are able to see both benefits and deficiencies in a
particular theory. Make sure you look through the critical thinking exercises in the course site to get a clear
understanding of critical thinking!
How many references should I cite?
There is no right answer to this question because it all depends on what you write in your report. Some
statements you make in your report will certainly need a reference to support them.
So, to determine how many references you need to cite, first (as described in the report writing tutorial)
draw a mind map of ideas to go into your report and for each idea try to link it to a reference source.
BUSM 4194 Leading for Change task 1 Marking Rubric [sem 1 2014, Singapore]
How will the report be marked?
Your lecturers have already created a marking rubric that will be used to award you a mark out of 50 as the
report comprises 50 of the overall 100 marks available in this course.
The rubric is reproduced over the page and will be used as a way of providing feedback to you on how you
performed.
The most important thing about the rubric is that it DEFI ...

Writing Effective Communications
General Instructions
Purpose
This examination will evaluate your ability to write an interoffice memorandum and an e-mail.
Preparation
Review the following sections in this study unit: “Interoffice
memorandums,” “Negative letters,” and “E-mails.” Your e-mail
should follow the format shown in Figure 15, with content
appropriate to the assignment—that is, a negative letter
written to solve a problem.
Background
Phoenix Advertising, with its main headquarters in Charlotte,
North Carolina, serves clients that include banks, insurance
companies, and retail chains.
You’re the vice president of human resources management at
Phoenix. You report directly to Gregory S. Forest, the company
president. Mr. Forest advises you that in the last month, four
clients have complained about the advertising work produced
by the Roanoke, Virginia branch of the agency. He reminds
you that the clients served from the Roanoke branch are vital
to the overall success of Phoenix Advertising.
Mr. Forest also explains the little he has been able to learn
about the situation at the branch: In the last three months,
two of the top management people—an art director and an
account executive—have left the agency. Three of the graphic
designers and four of the copywriters are threatening to quit
because they feel their creative efforts are being rejected
or revised without consultation. They want to be part of a
collaborative team, not to simply produce work that the art
directors and account executives can alter arbitrarily.
In an attempt to increase revenues, the branch is accepting
new clients without evaluating the effects of the new accounts
on the current project workload. As a result, without notice or
compensation for the additional hours, all salaried employees are required to work long hours several days each week.
Employee morale and productivity are declining day by day.
Process
Part A: Interoffice memorandum
Step 1
Begin by creating facts, figures, and people to flesh out the
above background information and your position in the company. The following questions are provided to jumpstart your
prewriting, but you must expand on them to brainstorm
thoroughly. In addition to listing details, also freewrite about
the Phoenix Advertising agency and its executive team.
• How large is the agency? How many branches does it
have? Where are the branches located?
• What’s the company’s mission? How does each branch
relate to that mission?
• What are the company’s primary business goals?
• What do clients need from Phoenix Advertising?
• Who are the people on the executive team (other vicepresidents of other departments)?
• Who’s in charge of the agency’s accounts in all
the branches?
• Who knows about policies for accepting and assigning
new accounts?
• Who knows about the policies for collaborative work
among account executives, art directors, graphic
designers, and copywriters?
• Are any other branches losing clients?
Now brainstorm a.

Mba Recommendation Letter Tips
- 1. F1GMAT – One pit stop for MBA Aspirants MBA recommendation letter tips to keep in mind. 1) Project List Send the details of the projects (that you have worked with the recommender), including your role, client information, team size, duration of the project etc to your recommender. They might not remember the details, so it is better to give them the right context to start with. 2) Managing your recommender Be aware of the fact that writing your recommendation letter is not the most important thing in recommender’s life. So you have to manage your recommenders by guiding them in writing the recommendation letter and reminding them of the deadlines that your are facing. Also, they might be travelling for work or for vacation, so you have to be aware of their plans. 3) Critical Success factors Each business school has a number of critical success factors (CSF), on which your admission will depend on. Research on the CSFs and send them to your recommender (scorecard.topmba.com and b-school alumni are the best sources for figuring out the CSFs). This will guide them in aligning the letter with the CSFs. 3) Divide and Rule Split the recommendation letter questions to one per week/per 3 days schedule. Set the deadline and send requests like “Can you please complete the strengths and weakness question by next Thursday”. Call your recommenders on Saturdays / Sundays (or when they are free) and remind them about the question for the week. It might look annoying at first but you have to take the initiative in completing the process. 4) Good News The good news is that the recommendation letter questions are repeated across business schools, so guide your recommenders in writing the letter for your dream school first. Ask them to answer the non-repeating questions at a later stage. 5) Before Submitting Once the recommendation letter is complete, visit your recommenders and do a thorough proofreading. Avoid details that make the recommendation letter boring. There should be some common ground between your essays and the recommendation letter. Avoid contradictions, like in your essays you have written your strengths as “good communication skill” and your recommenders write your weakness as “communication skill “. http://f1gmat.com/mba-app-101
- 2. F1GMAT – One pit stop for MBA Aspirants 6) Skill Assessment chart The recommendation form has a section to fill in your competency in skills like: Communication : Poor Average Good Very Good Excellent Leadership : Poor Average Good Very Good Excellent Ask your recommenders to portray your strengths in the Excellent to Very Good range and your weaknesses in the Good to Average range. 7) Don'ts 1) Do not write your own recommendation letter. The admission committee is smart enough to figure it. 2) Do not wait for the results of your MBA admission to show your appreciation for the recommenders. (Thank your recommenders and send them gifts ( Buy them dinner/lunch/game pass etc) 3) Do not wait until the last day of the deadlines to submit the recommendation letter. Server issues are common on the last day of deadlines. http://f1gmat.com/mba-app-101
