Assignment: Write at least the first paragraph of your Cover Letter making a connection to at least one example of research about your company. As you write, try to project the best character or personality for the position as you match up your qualifications to what the employer wants. Connecting to your employer's values through research is impressive.

Procedure: Get online and find the official website of your company. Look around for such things as mission statements, news releases, values, goals, plans for the future, etc. But also look for community and service activities, support, or contributions. You might try the heading "About Us." Look for anything on the website with which you could make a connection.

If the company's official website is not helpful, then try a general online search for news or information about your organization. Do your best to keep searching and reading about the company.

1. Copy and paste into the TEXT SUBMISSION BOX of this assignment the specific information from your research you will now target in your cover letter.

2. Next, write at least the first paragraph of your cover letter using this research. Make a connection somewhere in the first paragraph to this research and state the source. (To see examples, click on "Sample Cover Letters" in the "Cover Letter" module on Canvas.) Write out the whole first draft if you want.
