1. Do I need to put more specific details about my previous work/school experiences?
2. Does my format seem correct, or do I need to change it?
In my college experience I have never had to write a cover letter for any reason. Whenever I apply to a company it is always handing my resume to them in a career fair, giving it to them at their place of business, or sending them my resume online. Before reading these articles, I thought it was stupid to reword your resume in sentence form just to have a very slight possibility of anyone ever reading it. I have never had to have a cover letter for any interview, career fair, or online submission form; so I kind of feel like I am wasting my time in writing one.
These readings are very valuable tools for a person who is trying to land that dream job they have always been wanting. But, I found that I already knew most of the information in these readings. Two years ago, when I first started looking for jobs, I went to a class held by the CCO that taught people how to make resumes and cover letters. After taking this class I made a resume and brought it back to the CCO department in Stewart Center and got it reviewed and critiqued. I then made revisions to my resume, went back and got the green light from them.
Chapter 8- Organizing and Drafting
The main point of this chapter is that you need to present your information in a predictable and usable way. For example, with a resume you cannot have your information thrown about on a sheet of paper; you have to have it follow a certain pattern so the reader can obtain it all.

Chapter 15, Starting Your Career, gives so much good advice on how to find a job and how to actually make the correct paperwork to get it.
I recently got hired at Subaru of Indiana Automotive as an intern for this semester, and I had to go through much of what this chapter was about. The biggest thing for me was actually making a resume that showed all of my talents and that I was overly qualified for the job I was applying for.
Chapter Three, Readers and Contexts of Use, stresses that knowing your readers is very essential to communicate successfully when using technical communication. Another important point from this chapter is that the writer needs to realize who will be reading their document and how to present their information to those types of people.
