__**Thing to Avoid Writing About:**__ - your mistakes or unsuccessful experiences in school or on the job - low GPA - conflicts in previous job - why you are looking for a job (because I just graduated and need to move out) - why you left/want to leave your job

__**Phrases for Closure:**__

__**Questions in general about writing:**__ 1. What if you don't know who to address the memo to? Find out by going on the Internet. Or, call the office and ask for the name of the contact. Don't write "To whom it may concern" as it is not genuine.

2. What if I never worked and do not have real-world professional skills? Answer: Think back to all of your experiences working in teams. What specific skills did you gain and how do these skills help you to qualify for the job that you want?
