Jot down careers or 􀀌elds of study that you may like to pursue  \n3 years from now. Where would you like to live?  \n(Task b) Search for and choose a speci􀀌c advertisement for a internship or a job that you either qualify for or plan to be quali􀀌ed for within the next 3 years. It does not need to be a math-speci􀀌c position, but you should be able to articulate why your math experience would be bene􀀌cial for this position. This could be an internship or a permanent position.  \n(Task c) Save the advertisement as a PDF 􀀌le job4. pdf (for example, by \\print to PDF\" or by taking a screenshot of the advertisement), and upload job4. pdf to your assignment4 folder. You can also give me a physical paper copy of the job description.  \nPart 2/3: Write a cover letter for the position you've picked  \n(Step A) Go to Purdue OWL Cover Letters Part 1 Workshop and [career.uconn.edu/coverletters](career.uconn.edu/coverletters) for resources (including samples) for writing cover letters. You can also look up other resources.  \n(Step B) Before you write your cover letter in LATEX, write down (either on paper or using a text editor) a cover letter addressing the hiring committee/ manager for the position you've chosen.  \n(Step C) You can use a very simple and plain template from  \n[egunawan.github.io/writing/hw/04/letter4template.tex](egunawan.github.io/writing/hw/04/letter4template.tex) (see letter4template.pdf) or browse more complicated cover letter templates from [sharelatex.com/templates/cover-letters](sharelatex.com/templates/cover-letters), [overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/cover-letter](overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/cover-letter) or elsewhere.  \n(Step D) Write your cover letter using this template in a main 􀀌le called letter4. tex, saved in your assignment4 folder.  \n(Step E) Highly recommended but optional: meet with a UConn Career Services 1 consultant to discuss your cover letter. Bring the job advertisement.  \nTailor your cover letter to this speci􀀌c job advertisement. Your cover letter should include speci􀀌c examples of your skills and why they will be valuable to the hiring company | this should not be a restatement of your resume; they should complement one another. The purpose of a cover letter is to:  \n􀀏 Clearly route your resume to the right contact person for the job opening.  \n􀀏 Show how your skills/experiences match the job description.  \n􀀏 Show you can communicate professionally in writing.  \n􀀏 Re􀀍ect your positive attitude, personality, motivation, and enthusiasm.  \nSome helpful hints:  \nThe 􀀌nal submission of your cover letter should be good enough to submit to your dream job. Take this seriously|it is not just worth points, it is worth your future! Please keep in mind the feedback you receive from your peers, myself, and UConn Career Serviceson your 􀀌rst draft. A cover letter should  \n􀀏 have appropriate font and structure choices  \n􀀏 have precise language throughout (try not to be general and vague)  \n􀀏 have clear writing and be free of grammatical and spelling errors  \n􀀏 have a professional tone  \n􀀏 identify your strengths and tailor them to the job announcement and the company's mission/goals  \n􀀏 be 1 page in length (people with years of experience sometimes have longer cover letters)  \n1 Make an appointment here: [career.uconn.edu/schedule-an-appointment/](career.uconn.edu/schedule-an-appointment/)  \n2  \nPart 3/3: Writing a resume tailored to the position you've picked  \n(Task 1) Before you write your resume in LaTeX, write down (either on paper or using a text editor) your ","cbCaidAEE1SvE79A","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidAEE1SvE79A","pdf",96386,"English","# Part 1/3: Find a job you are interested in\n## Task a\n## Task b\n## Task c\n# Part 2/3: Write a cover letter\n## Step A-E\n# Part 3/3: Write a tailored resume/CV\n## Task 1-4","[{\"question\":\"What are the requirements for choosing and submitting the job advertisement?\",\"answer\":\"Select a specific internship or job you qualify for or plan to qualify for within the next three years.
