Today's Assignments:
- Part I: Leadership CV and Cover Letter
Be sure to read the directions carefully. Note what needs to be turned in - your completed reflection template, your leadership CV, your cover letter, and 3 work samples. Then get started.
- As the directions state, start by completing your reflection template - you will use what you write to help you complete your CV (it is your planning).
- Then chose a format for your CV. Since a CV is just a detailed resume, choose a resume template that gives you space to add explanations. As with any format, be sure to remove the parts you do not need and rename the parts you use according to the assignment directions (i.e. leadership skills, work samples, etc.).
- Write your CV. Use what you planned on the reflection template. Offer specific examples that showcase your leadership development from inside as well as outside of the course. Choose 3 work samples (i.e. assignments from the course) that showcase your leadership development. You may link the work samples in your CV or attach them separately when you post - don't forget to discuss them in your CV. Remember to read for content and then to proofread when you are finished.
- Write your cover letter. As the directions state, you are applying for the job of 21st-century leader. Sell yourself as a great leader now as well as a leader with potential for the future. Offer specific examples for each paragraph (follow the format in the directions).
- Post all the pieces required.

Remember that you are creating LEADERSHIP CV. The self-assessment will guide you through the pre-planning of that CV. Just as you did during the semester, relate everything you put on your CV back to your leadership development. For more tips on how to create a CV, go to http://cals.ufl.edu/docs/pdf/students/CRC-CV-Preparation-2016.pdf (Links to an external site.)
LEADERSHIP COVER LETTER
Once you have reviewed your CV, write your cover letter. Your cover letter is your chance to "sell" you and your leadership development. It is what employers will read first and will determine if they should take the time to read your CV. Be sure your cover letter addresses your top leadership skills/traits and that it "sells" you as a 21st-century leader. You can make up the addressee or you can address your letter to me.
