Mod 3 Week 2: The Application Process

1. Find a position or use a position you've put on your Huntr board and write a cover letter for that position in a Google doc or gist. Reference these cover letter resources as well as the session to complete your cover letter.

   • Position = Software Engineer @ Space X

   • Post the link to your cover letter here

2. Review your cover letter with a peer some time this week. What feedback did your partner give you? What next steps will you take to make your cover letter even stronger?

   "Well, it’s good for a general cover letter! But they should technically be tailored to a specific position or company. How your sweet skills and talents will fit within the role/company." With this feedback I think my cover letter has a good base but with each time I find a job posting to apply I will have some kind of paragraph that will discuss the company and why I fit.

3. If you were to apply to this position (and you should!), how will you customize your resume for it? What other next steps would you need to take here?

   I took some skills from the posting and added them to my Resume (skills I do have I'm not cat fishing). I also go more in depth with my internship experience and how I used some IE skills. With my programming skills I have them all listed and some of my past projects linked. I want to spice up my cover letter with a paragraph about why I would fit in SpaceX and how I work under stress and under pressure because I know they work around the clock and need people who can deliver under stress.
