Bronx Community College of the City University of New York
Essay 5 Assignment Instructions
Length and Format: This essay must be a minimum of one page typed and double spaced in 12
point, Times New Roman font with with standard margins and spacing. Your essay should have a
thoughtful title. Your name, course title, and the date should be at the top of the paper. Your heading
does not count towards the minimum length requirement.
Topic: Students frequently tell me they are attending college to land their dream job. College
composition can help with that. Resume and application letters function as an argument making the
claim that you (the applicant) are qualified and worthy of an interview with a potential employer (the
audience). You need to be able to substantiate your claims and persuade the audience to grant you an
interview. Locate a job posting that interests you and that you would be qualified for upon
graduation. Be sure to research the company and position. If the company or organization has a
website, that is a good place to begin.
Write an application letter to apply for this job. Consider the job posting, your knowledge of the
company, your career interests, your experience, and your qualifications. Develop your letter to be a
direct response to the job posting. For the purposes of this exercise, it is acceptable for you to include
skills or experiences that you plan to have by the time you graduate.
I will grade your business letter based on the evidence your provide to support your claim that you
are qualified and worthy of an interview, how specifically you respond to the advertised job, how
well you emphasize your strengths, your business appropriate tone, and your proper business letter
formatting.
It is my sincere hope that the letter you write for me will one day be the first draft of the letter you
write to land your dream job upon graduation.
