Career services will be coming to class today. Lets all welcome Kristine Lam a warm welcome.
Week 2. - Thank You letter and follow up letter.
Make sure to Print out a hard copy of your two cover letters to turn in in case you haven't already.
Letters of Interest.
Letter of interest are similar to cover letters, the only difference is that you are writing about a specific Job or position that you are applying for within the company.
Example
John Smith is searching job search engine websites such as careerbuilders.com, and monster.com. John comes across a posting that Pixar Studio is looking for a Character animators for their up and coming next feature film.
John decided to write them a letter of interest to the position because John feels that his skill and knowledge proceeds in that area. Even though John is well deverse in all forms of multimedia from graphic design, motion graphics and 3D Modeling, he also is very talented in Character animation. So John writes a letter to Pixar stating that he would be a great candidate for the position and list all hes attributes of why he would be best qualified for this position.
Here are some great links and example of how a letter of interest should be written.

Follow up Letter.
There are many different meanings to a follow up letter. You may write a follow up letter as a thank you letter, stating that you are thanking the interviewer for taking the time out of his busy schedule to give you the opportunity to meet him and for him to get to know you and what you can provide to the company.
But for this follow up letter students are to write a letter following up on a recent letter of interest or cover letter that you had e-mailed or sent prior about a specific company you are applying for or a specific position. I have provided a great example below.
Here's a great link on how to write for this specific type of follow up letter.
