Guidelines

  • Start drafting before your job shadow, finish and send the day after.
  • Keep it brief but personal — mention why the experience mattered to you.
  • Handwritten is best when possible, otherwise type and print neatly.
  • For mailing: bring an unsealed, addressed envelope.
  • Proofread for neatness and spelling before sending.
