Provide a brief introduction of your desired career field.
Provide an overview of each organization and the specific position you are applying to. You are required to include the name of the company and the company's website, social media handles, and approximate number of employees.
Describe two or three facts about the company that are interesting to you and explain why you would want to work for this company in the future.
Describe the knowledge, skills, and experience required by the job positions selected. What knowledge, skills, experiences, or other opportunities do you need to obtain in order to be eligible for these job positions?
Explain the significance of drawing connections between the requirements listed in the job descriptions and your resume and cover letter, relevant to your career field. Determine how you would make those connections within your resume and cover letter to ultimately gain the hiring manager's attention.
