WEEK TWO ASSIGNMENTS

SELF-LEADERSHIP - DEFINED
Self leadership is the ability of someone to guide
themselves to positive places that they have never
been before. It enables a person to fulfill their
potential while building a strong foundation from
which to make daily decisions -- both
professionally and personally. Without a strong
sense of self-leadership, people can feel out of
control, overwhelmed and unfocused. (Bommelje,
2009, p. 1).

MENTORING VERSUS COACHING
According to Chakravarthy (2011), the main difference
between mentoring and coaching is the focus.
Mentors focus on the individual and his or her general

work life. The focus is on attitudes and behaviors.
Coachs focus on the task. A coach helps with attitudes
skills, and behaviors related to job success
(Chakravarthy, 2011).

ACTION LEARNING
Another key term that is associated with mentoring and
coaching is “action learning.” Davis, Doran,
Hutchinson, and Provost (2012) defined action learning
as an organizational process designed to create
continuous quality improvements Action learning is an
effective process used to integrate learning and teaching

Week 2 - Assignment
Cover Letter
Often times a cover letter is your first impression when
applying for a new job. In order to stand out from other
candidates, you will want to write a unique cover letter for each
position that is of interest to you. A cover letter allows you to
clarify, detail, and expand on your most relevant skills and
competencies. In addition, it allows you to highlight your
written communication skills.
It is important that you have a compelling and impactful cover
letter. To accomplish this, you need to answer the following
questions before you begin composing your letter.
· Why are you interested in the position? (Consider what makes
the position, organization, or company interesting to you.)
· What three skills or competencies do you possess that match
the skills the employer is seeking in a candidate?
· You can find these skills by viewing the job description.
These specific skills are the reason every cover letter should be
unique for each job for which you apply.
For this assignment, you will explore the components of a cover
letter, reflect on your most relevant skills, and assess what
action steps you can take to make your cover letter stronger.
· The Cover Letters resource contains step-by step instructions
for creating a cover letter including: formatting suggestions,
tips regarding how to highlight your best skills and
qualification and how to tailor your letter for specific job you
wish to apply to.
· For more in-depth guidance for writing a cover letter, please
visit https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/cover-letter.htm
or https://biginterview.com/blog/2014/01/cover-letter-
examples.html

For your assignment:
· First, identify a position on http://www.indeed.com/.that
interests you as a potential job opportunity. Using the job
description, identify three skills or qualifications that match
your background and type them out. NOTE: I’ve attached the
cover letter that I use. You can find a job that is for retail
management that is the field I currently work in.
· Next, using the format suggestions from both the webinar and
cover letter sample, create a two to three paragraph letter that
addresses the three matching skills and/or competencies you
would like to highlight for the employer. The goal is to tailor
the body of your cover letter to the position you seek.
· Include the link for the job description you are interested in at
the bottom of the cover letter along with the proper citations for
any additional resources you utilize.
