Class Activity 4 - Response
In reviewing 3 of the 5 job letters, 2 are polar opposites when it comes to how they state information. In jobletterstudentsample2, the format is left aligned and all 4 major paragraphs are included. The author shows by example what she can do for the prospective company. In jobletter1, the author has the left aligned format and the 4 necessary paragraphs. The author does not mention which specific job ad or job they are applying for. The author also asks questions in the opening and concluding paragraph. This makes the author look unsure and not confident. The third job letter, jobletterstudentsample3, has a decent format but the author does not pay attention to detail and the receivers address is not aligned correctly. This author makes the same mistake as the previous author in that she does not mention which specific job ad or job she is applying for. She also does not list what type of enclosure is added to her letter. I prefer the format and flow of jobletterstudentsample2 because this author follows a clear and concise format and hits all the major points for the prospective employer.
