• Step Three: Career Goals Statement (2-3 pages):
  • Write down your long-term and short-term professional goals, and explain how they relate to this specific position. This section can be written in the form of a narrative essay.
  • Prioritize your goals (bullet format is sufficient).
  • Fill in the Gaps: Identify 2 -3 steps you will need to achieve both your short and long term goals (i.e. skills you will need to obtain, certifications, or experiences).
• Step Four: Create a professional resume/CV in response to the job ad (1-2 pages). This should demonstrate direct knowledge of the conventions, expectations, and values of your discourse community.
• Step Five: Write a cover letter designed to get you an interview (1 page).
