(Individual)
Name: Lea Marie R. Altaya
Grade and Section: GRADE 12 - STEM 14
Topics: Writing Across Disciplines and Writing Professional Correspondences

Description:
Create a well-written college admission letter, job application letter, and resumé. Your outputs
need to be prepared systematically by following the rules and components discussed. The following
must also be observed:

1. For a college admission letter, considering your current grade level - let us say you will
be graduating senior high school in the future and are pursuing post-secondary
education, think of a school to enroll in and craft a college admission letter.
2. For a job application letter and resumé, assume that you graduated with the degree
you have chosen in your college admission letter. Think of a particular
company/organization/institution and consider your intention to work by preparing a neat
and well-written cover letter and resumé.
3. Appropriate content, language, format, and mechanics must be observed.
4. Use letter-size bond paper for all your outputs with a 1” margin on all sides.
5. Limit your letters to 1 page each and resumé to 2 pages.
6. Follow business letter format (full block).
7. Though a functional resume is advised for fresh graduates, the reverse-chronological
format is still the best.
8. Use formal font (Arial Narrow) with 10 to 12 font sizes for the body and 16 for the
heading.
9. Outputs must be encoded and saved in Rich Text File (.rtf) or Portable Document
Format (.pdf) to avoid formatting changes in your submission.
10. Submission of soft copies must be made on or before the deadline.
