Question

Eva wants to apply for a summer job teaching swimming lessons. She loves kids and has experience as a lifeguard. Which writing tasks would be most helpful for finding work she enjoys? Select three options.

writing a resume outlining her qualifications
completing applications at summer day camps
keeping an online blog of her swimming activities
writing a cover letter stating her experience as a babysitter
writing a short story about a child’s first experience in the water

Answer 1

- writing a resume outlining her qualifications
- completing applications at summer day camps
- writing a cover letter stating her experience as a babysitter

These directly help her apply for jobs and show she has experience working with children (plus her lifeguard skills), whereas a blog or a short story are less useful for actually getting hired.
