ENGL 402
Job Application Assignment Portfolio
Due May 19
Overview
The letter and resume you have composed are targeted for a particular audience—the
employer you would like to work for. Your Job Application Assignment Portfolio is
targeted for a different audience—your teacher. As the final step in the job application
assignment you must prepare a portfolio of all the materials you have processed during
the course of the assignment (daily assignments, drafts, and other materials).
Specifics
This Portfolio must be professional-looking and contained in a folder/binder of your
choice. The materials must be organized in an easy-to-understand manner that will
convince the teacher that you have put thought and care into preparing the Portfolio. The
letter and resume are a part of this Portfolio and your grade will be largely based on those
documents, but the impression you create with the Portfolio will influence the grade as
well. Your job ad must be included in the Portfolio.
Letter of Transmittal
In addition to including the application letter, resume, and all assignment materials you
have processed, the Portfolio must be accompanied by a Letter of Transmittal. You can
find details of this letter type in your book on p. 194 and at
http://web.clas.ufl.edu/users/creed/Engineering/TransmittalLetter.html. This letter should
be addressed to the teacher and address the purpose of the Portfolio. In addition, this
letter must include a brief reflective section in which you consider the process you went
through to compose these documents, any difficulties you might have encountered during
the process, and what you learned along the way. You may also want to comment on
what further work you might need to do to make you job application materials even more
effective.
Order of the Portfolio
1. Letter of Transmittal
2. Job Ad
3. Letter
4. Resume
5. All other materials
