For this assignment, you will have the chance to analyze your background in essay format and then include three different types of resumes along with a cover letter. The essay detailing your background, the resume section, and cover letter should total at least 2,000 words. You will need to include three credible sources supporting your claims. If you would prefer not to use your own information, you may use a fictional person.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-weight: 600; font-size: 26px; line-height: 1.1; cursor: auto;\">Prompt<\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 45px 0px 15px; padding-bottom: 10px; font-weight: 600; font-size: 24px; line-height: 1.1; cursor: auto;\">Part 1:<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Compose an<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 700; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">essay<\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>that is 500-1,000 words providing details of your career objective(s), your education, and your work and life experiences.
