Writing a cover letter & volunteer opportunities

This will be your last assignment in this unit.  Please make sure that you have finished your interview questions and practice your answers.  I will be asking you interview questions on either Thursday or Friday.

For this last assignment,  you will be writing a cover letter to apply for a volunteer position in Victoria.  This assignment is important for a few reasons. To graduate from Stelly's, you will need to write a cover letter. Additionally, you will need to have completed volunteer hours.  Finally,  when you apply to university or even for a job after secondary school, you will need to write a cover letter.

Please go to the following website and find one position that interests you.

First,  in a sentence or two for each point below, describe the job:

Organization/ type of organization

Type of task (what are you doing in the job)

How long is the job? How often do you need to be available?

When does it start?

Second,  you will write a cover letter expressing interest in this job. Please look at my example and tips sheet.

Print out the assignment but please keep a copy in your planning folder!
