This course spent a significant amount of time focussing on developing professional language and writing skills. Everything was put to the test with the Application Package assignment. For this assignment, we were to find a job or school application advertisement or set of instructions and draft all of the necessary application requirements — a cover letter, resume, and letters asking for references.

For this assignment, I chose to create an application package for Mohawk College’s Human Resources Management graduate diploma program. This is a program I am currently contemplating on applying to once my UBC degree is completed. This was a perfect opportunity to take a run at the application and get feedback before submitting the real thing.
