Professional+Unit+Grading+Policy


 * Professional Unit Grading Policy: DUE APRIL 16**

Your resume, cover letter, and respectful letter must be **perfect** or your packet will be returned and you will **drop a letter grade**. You will have an opportunity to resubmit your papers on the next announced submission day. In the meantime, you should re-examine your own work and locate the errors on your own time. Find someone you trust who will brutally proof read your papers. Then, find three more people just like them. Mrs. Overly will not identify the mistakes or edit any student's papers. She will only accept them or deny them. Each re-submission will cost you a letter grade.

In the past, very few students passed the first round. In fact, only a hand full sufficiently prepared a perfectly edited first impression. Most students were upset that their packet was denied but when given ten seconds, they quickly identified errors on their own papers that they didn't take the time to correct the first time. It is safe to say that most people looking for jobs today also overlook the impact of their resume. Unfortunately, error filled resumes are tossed in the trash and the individual rarely learns the reason they were never called back. Even more scary is the likelihood that that same individual will continue to submit their flawed resume to more and more employers without ever knowing that they never stand a chance.
