Supplemental Materials

Be Prepared to Provide ...

In addition to your cover letter and resume, an employer will probably ask for more materials to be included in your application packet.

These links provide information about - and some samples of - those supplemental materials:

• References (pdf)
• Letters of recommendation (pdf)
• Writing Samples (pdf)
• Transcripts (pdf)

The cover letter may not be the only letter that you will have to write. These links provide samples of letters that you may have to write:

Thank-you and Follow-up letters (pdf) (Remember that the thank-you letter can set you apart from the rest of the interviewees, since it is your chance to reiterate or add something you missed in the interview. Note that it is very important to send a thank-you letter to each interviewer.)

• Acceptance letter (pdf)
• Rejection letter (pdf)
• Withdraw letter (pdf)
