Introduction

Welcome to the Community Writing and Education Station (CWEST) resource area for writing job search materials. CWEST (pronounced "quest") is a sustainable, collaborative civic engagement literacy project that works in close cooperation with LARA, a local adult basic education program, and the WorkOne facility located at LARA.

This section of the site provides information about a number of job search documents WorkOne Express staff members have identified as important. These resources differ from other Purdue OWL job search documents because they are specifically designed for skilled labor positions. Here you will find information on the following:

• Reading and using job ads
• Filling out job applications
• Writing résumés
• Writing cover letters
• Writing follow up and thank you letters
• Sample documents (Job ads, résumés, cover letters, follow up and thank you letters).

Instructors/Administrators: Download the CWEST job search document materials flier here and post it around your center to help raise awareness of these resources.
