Week 5 Learning objectives
Upon completion of week 5 assignments and discussion forum responses students should be able to:
- Articulate the rules of interview and post-interview etiquette
- Explain the benenfits of sending a "thank you" letter to potential employers.
- Week 5 Assignment—Write and submit a proposed “Thank You” Letter/email; include reference the job and the industry in your letter for context.
For this assignment you will be creating a sample thank you letter. After any interview it is necessary to send the employer a thank you letter. Some people would suggest this be a typed letter that is printed, signed and mailed to the interviewer while others would use only an email thank you. Either way it is extremely important.

Lesson Plan: Week 5
Effective Communication & Networking
Welcome to Week 5:
At the end of this week, students will be able to:
• Describe why mentors are essential to achieving your calling
• Identify and analyze the 5 P's of personal networking
I. Key Messages for this week (Harris, 2021):
• It’s not what you know, sometimes, as who you know
• The people who get the best jobs are the people who know how to get the job done,
and not always the most qualified candidate.
• Learn to benefit from your contacts.
• Set a goal to increase your contacts by one per week which translates to 52 new
contacts per year. Keep your contacts organized and active.
II. Course materials for this week (Harris, 2021): A. Watch the
following YouTube videos:
1. “Don’t Be Afraid to A.S.K.” by Career Edge
2. “Tools and tips on Email Etiquette”
B. Read: “The 5 P’s of personal networking”. Copy and paste the link below to
read the blog on this topic.

Effective Communication & Networking
****This week’s assignment has two parts****
Please ensure both part 1 and part 2 are in the same word
document.
Part 1
C. Week 5 Assignment #1: To clarify this point and assess your network, complete
the following interesting and informative exercise to evaluate your current spheres
of influence, that is, who it is you choose to associate with and how they impact
your life… positively or negatively.
For this assignment, create a blank Word Doc and:
1. Make a list of the family members, friends, co-workers and any other contacts
with whom you interact the most or with whom you typically spend the majority
of your time.
2. Put a "+" next to each person who inspires, encourages or builds you up as a
person. Put a "-" beside every person who is toxic – people who complain,
spread rumors, act negatively, have a poor attitude, find the bad in people,
whine and criticize your dreams and aspirations.
3. If you cannot determine which category to place the person in, put a question
mark.
4. Evaluate the list after you think of as many people as possible.
5. Upload this document as your assignment and make a commitment to reduce
spending time with the people who have a "-" next to their name.
By following through on this assignment, you now have a blueprint as to which
people in your life will truly help you attain your goals and objectives, and which
people may be along for the ride.
