You've imagined a profession that you would like to have when you are 25 years old, and you've written a resume that outlines the education and experience that goes along with having that particular job at that age. Now you're going to write a cover letter to go along with your resume.
What's a cover letter? Virginia Tech has a great page on cover letters. It details how and why to write a cover letter, and many examples are provided. Here's the link:
Now imagine that your 25-year-old self is applying for new job. Search the job listings on monster.com or the want ads in an online newspaper. Find a job that you might be qualified for (at age 25) in your field of interest. Use your gmail account to create a cover letter for it (write the cover letter in the body of your email). Email the cover letter to me (mcarty@sterling.k12.nj.us).
Be sure to:
*Include your resume as a Microsoft Word attachment.
*Provide a link to the ad that you are responding to. This should be at the top of the page (just so I know what you're applying for).
