- List of References – at least three people who have agreed to be a reference on your behalf (not related to you!)
- Letter of Reference – formally requested by you and written by one of your references. You should plan to do this early in the year to ensure that you give your reference plenty of time.
- Cover Letter – also known as a letter of application. This should be written in business letter format and targeted towards a career in your program of study.
- Personal Profile (About Me page) – a writing sample that you will use to share a little about yourself with an interviewer. This element should include an image of you in action in your field OR a piece of your work that you are particularly proud of.
