Unit 1 e-Discussion – Communication
Question 1 – With a rise in online platforms dedicated to social and professional networking, are cover letters and resumes out of date or even obsolete? Why or why not? Include information from one external source in your response.
Cite the source in APA style within your response and provide a link to the source at the end of your response to that question. Mention at least one topic from Chapter 1 or Chapter 4 of the textbook within your response, and state how it relates to your response to this question.
Question 2 – What would a hiring manager think of a candidate when the manager notices spelling or grammatical errors on the candidate’s cover letter, resume, LinkedIn or other social media site? Do spelling or grammatical errors on cover letter or resume matter to hiring managers? Why or why not?
Again, do a little research to inform your thinking and include information from one external source in your response. Cite the source in APA style within your response and provide a link to the source at the end of your response to that question.
You must mention at least one topic from Chapter 1 or Chapter 4 of the textbook within your response, and state how it relates to your response to this question.
