Peer Review Questions
- The job application package is complete, containing one application letter and one tailored résumé. Each document is complete and contains all required elements as stated in the handout.
Your application letter is well written as it contains the necessary elements. However, you failed to include a résumé, thus making the job application package incomplete.
- The letter and résumé are tailored to the specific job for which you are “applying” and include information relevant to that job. The information included makes clear why you are qualified for the job.
The information that you have provided is relevant to the job opening for the position of a patient aide. In addition, the information clearly indicates that you are qualified for the position.
- The résumé is clean and well organized. The use of space is uniform and well considered. The font and type size are easy to read. Different levels of headings are used consistently to demarcate different levels and categories.
Your job application package contains only the application letter. It will be important for you to include a clean and well-organized résumé. Also, ensure that the use of space and font is uniform, and the headings levels are consistent.
- The description of job duties and responsibilities at each position include vivid, concrete, action verbs (in past tense if you no longer hold the position). The verbs are in parallel structure. The style and tone are formal. Paragraphs utilize effective topic sentences.
Your description of job duties and responsibilities is clear. You have used the appropriate verbs and a formal tone to describe your experience and skills. You have used effective topic sentences in each paragraph to show that you know what the employer needs and that you meet the requirements.
- The letter and résumé are each formatted correctly following the specified guidelines in the textbook and assignment instructions.
The letter has been correctly formatted following the specified guidelines in the assignment instruction. However, you should include a space before and after the date to separate the sender’s and inside address.
- Spelling, grammar, and punctuation are correct. If there are errors, point those out to your peer.
The letter has been correctly punctuated. There are no observable instances of spelling and grammar errors.
- Rate how well the paper aligns with the assignment guidelines: (minimal = does not meet assignment guidelines; medium = meets about 75% of the assignment guidelines; very high = meets 95% or above of the assignment guidelines)
Minimal
Low
Medium
High
Very high
The paper failed to include a résumé, which is a crucial requirement for the assignment. Therefore, for now, I will rate it at medium.
- Suggestions for meeting the assignment guidelines.
The application letter was formatted correctly, meeting the assignment guidelines. However, I would suggest you include a résumé for the job application package to be complete.
- Write a final comment to your peer about two of the overall strengths and one overall weakness of the first draft.
One of the overall strengths was the correct formatting of the letter following the specified guidelines. Secondly, the letter was specific to the job, and the information that you provided clearly showed why you are qualified for the position. However, the overall weakness was failing to include a résumé.
