GT 1000: First-Year Seminar Textbook

Undergraduate transition seminars  ·  undergraduate education, cover letters.

Cover letters—also known as application letters—serve a simple purpose: They provide a narrative and a bit of a timeline that shows how your previous experience and exposure can work for the target company. They “cover” your resume, in that they provide an introduction and help direct the reader’s attention to how your resume’s content relates to the work opportunity for which you’re applying.

A cover letter succeeds when it is tailored to a specific job. You craft a cover letter based on either specific qualifications or duties noted in the job posting, or research you conduct about the job and company.

Cover letters are formulaic, which means you don’t have to be especially witty or creative. All you need to do in a cover letter is provide three skills, or areas of knowledge or experience, that you possess and that match the needs of the company, and show how you’ve implemented them. Humans, especially hiring managers, are curious animals. Providing examples about how you’ve used and acquired skills satisfies that curiosity, but also helps a reader visualize you at work.

These letters are not devoted to you simply stating that you’re a hard worker, problem solver, quick learner, analytical thinker, and other jargon-ish terms. Rather, they show tasks and duties and skills that you specify for consideration by the company. For example, don’t just state you’re a problem solver; describe a problem you solved, and how. And maybe provide the end result or outcome.

A well-crafted cover letter can snag you the interview through its effective use of relevant detail, so you’ll usually want to create one every time you apply for a job. These letters also help you begin to organize your thoughts about what you’ve done so far, which can help in responding to interview questions.

For complete cover letter instructions and examples, please log into CareerBuzz. Go to the Resources menu and click Documents Library. In the Search box type Cover Letter Instructions and/or Cover Letter Examples.

Pre-Teaching Advising

Pre-graduate & pre-professional advising  ·  office of undergraduate education, resumes and cover letters.

Resumes and cover letters should be customized for each position that you apply for in your job search. Materials for a job at an engineering firm or a publishing house will look different than those for a K-12 teahcing job. For this reason, using templates found online are often not the best way to create your professional presentation of yourself.

Elements to include on a teaching job resume for K-12 positions should be those that are directly related to teaching and those that have given you skills that transfer into teaching.  For example, effective communication, creative expression, organization, and other skills are key to being a successful teacher, and you can gain these types of skills in a number of ways. Some information that should be on your resume:

• evidence of experience working with K-12 aged students (tutor, mentor, camp counselor, coach, nanny, etc.)
• evidence of experience of teaching in general (peer tutoring, teaching assistant, etc.)
• internships and co-ops
• skills category with headings [e.g., Spoken Languages: French (fluent); English (fluent)]
• community engagement (on-campus and off) and leadership
• awards and scholarships
• study and work abroad
• significant projects (course and capstone)
• collegiate-level competition experience (music, athletics, mock trial, etc.)

How will admission counselors evaluate your application?

First-year applicants to Georgia Tech are reviewed in a selective, holistic admission process. Our application review includes consideration of the following factors:

• Recommendations
• Interview for International Applicants
• Major Selection
• Institutional Fit

Statement on AI

Tools like ChatGPT, Bard and other AI-based assistance programs are powerful and valuable tools. We believe there is a place for them in helping you generate ideas, but your ultimate submission should be your own. As with all other sources, you should not copy and paste content you did not create directly into your application. Instead, if you choose to utilize AI-based assistance while working on your writing submissions for Georgia Tech, we encourage you to take the same approach you would when collaborating with people. Use it to brainstorm, edit, and refine your ideas. AI can also be a useful tool as you consider how to construct your resume in the Activities portion of the Common Application. We think AI could be a helpful collaborator, particularly when you do not have access to other assistance to help you complete your application.

Review the Contribution to Community and Personal Essays sections above for more information about using AI when working on your application.

College of Computing

Your Opportunities are Limitless: Message from a 2024 Cyber Graduate

Wednesday, may 1, 2024, john popham, college of computing school of cybersecurity and privacy, computer systems cybersecurity.

If Sneha Talwalkar could leave behind one piece of advice to the next generation of Georgia Tech graduate students, it would be to treat their master’s program like an extended professional development opportunity because that is exactly what it is. 

Fortunately for future students, she is not leaving behind just one piece of advice. Her time in the School of Cybersecurity and Privacy at Georgia Tech exposed Talwalkar to resources she thinks all students should take advantage of.

Volunteering, mentoring, resume reviews, paper reviews, guest lectures, and talk series like So You Want to be a Professor , and using the Communication Center in the Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons are all on Talwalkar’s list of resources students should use while in their master’s program. One of the most important to her, however, is how students should approach their master’s capstone course and project. 

“It needs to be on the front of your mind before the first day of class even starts,” she said. “Three to four months is just not enough to build a good project and professional relationships- an outcome that both students and the institute can benefit from.”

The opportunities for students are limitless. Talwalkar has witnessed partnerships with industry while working on her own projects. This is especially beneficial for international students as collaborations with nonprofits, government, and industry can increase their employment options after graduating from a professional master’s course.

“Partnerships can help you have a plan ready while also helping the institute to build a pipeline of projects outside academia through your work,” she said. “Reach out to alumni with the help of GTConnect and other platforms to start working on problems that interest you.”  

Talwalkar has spent her time outside of the classroom connecting with faculty to learn as much as she can from them. She will be leaving Georgia Tech with a list of mentors from different areas of expertise, including:

• Courtney Crooks , principal research scientist in the Georgia Tech Research Institute who specializes in the field of cyberpsychology. 
• Professor Peter Swire , J.Z. Liang Chair at SCP, and data privacy expert
• Sashank Varma , professor in the School of Interactive Computing and School of Psychology, a cognitive scientist and human/machine-learning course instructor
• Ling Liu , professor in the School of Computer Science and director of research programs for the Distributed Data Intensive Systems Lab

“Innovation and research are not possible if we stick to our own departments and our group of students or friends,” she said. “Explore different classes and research projects outside of your own coursework and then try to draw the line backward to see how you can weave your own story.” 

Talwalkar has also taken on two mentees of her own. The first is a master’s student in the School of Computational Science and Engineering, Tara (Tingyu) Liu , and the second is Betta Lyon Delsordo , enrolled in the Online Master of Science in Cybersecurity . 

“I am privileged and proud to be carrying Georgia Tech’s heritage with me,” she said. 

Her time in the cybersecurity master’s program ignited a passion for research and education. Once Talwalkar is done with her final class, she will be moving to Canada to begin her Ph.D. in Information at the University of Toronto. Her son will begin pre-kindergarten around the same time.

“We both get to have a first day of school this September!” she said. “I hope my story inspires women with school-age kids to pursue a graduate program."

College baseball in review: Charlie Condon continues to dominate, Georgia strengthens its resume

Charlie Condon steals the headlines — and deservedly so — but Georgia is far from a one-man show.

The Bulldogs swept Vanderbilt over the weekend in Athens to improve to 35-12 overall and 13-11 in the SEC. And with an RPI that has climbed to No. 5, Georgia is in position to host a Regional for the first time since 2019 and possibly be one of the eight national seeds.

Condon, of course, is an enormous part of the success. The junior, who is enjoying one of the finest offensive seasons in college baseball history, went 5-for-10 with three home runs and six RBIs against Vanderbilt. He has hit a home run in seven consecutive games and leads the nation in batting average (.459) and homers (33).

Starting to enter the best college season ever conversation….regardless of era 🤯 https://t.co/w6HO1qOxUP — Chris Burke (@ChrisBurke02) May 5, 2024

Vanderbilt, meanwhile, is 11-13 in the league and has lost five consecutive SEC games for only the fourth time in Tim Corbin’s 21 years as the head coach. The Commodores’ streak of 17 consecutive Regional appearances — the longest in the nation — could be in jeopardy. Vanderbilt closes the season with a home series against Tennessee followed by a trip to Kentucky.

Around the horn

Tennessee continues to put pressure on Kentucky in the SEC East race. The Vols remained one game behind the Wildcats — who won a critical series at home over Arkansas — by taking two of three from Florida in Gainesville. The teams split a doubleheader on Friday, with Tennessee winning the opener 6-2 and Florida bouncing back for a 4-3 win in the nightcap. On Saturday, the Vols broke open a close game by scoring 11 runs in the sixth and three in the seventh to run-rule the Gators 16-3.

Florida’s two-way star Jac Caglianone suffered his first loss of the season on the mound, giving up six hits and four earned runs in five innings in Game 3. The Gators have now lost five straight SEC series for the first time since 2006, when they lost eight straight en route to a 10-20 league record.

Tennessee, meanwhile, has won seven consecutive series since opening up SEC play by losing two of three at Alabama. The Vols are 17-7 in the league.

NC State split a pair with Florida State in Tallahassee and is now 26-18 overall and 13-10 in the ACC. The Wolfpack still have work to do to enter the hosting discussion, but with an RPI of 19 and series remaining against Virginia (road) and Wake Forest (home), they will have ample opportunity to improve their resume.

One thing is certain: NC State is very comfortable in a close game. The Pack are 8-3 in one-run games in the ACC.

Texas’ late-season surge continued with a huge series win over Oklahoma State in Austin. The Longhorns won the first two games, 7-5 on Friday and 6-3 on Saturday, thanks in large part to the play of outfielder Max Belyeu. The sophomore went a combined 5-for-7 with a home run and five RBIs in the two wins.

Oklahoma State won the third game 7-2 to create a three-way tie for second place in the Big 12. Oklahoma continues to lead the way with an 18-6 record, with Texas, West Virginia and Oklahoma State three games back at 15-9.

The Sooners close the regular season with Baylor at home (9-15 in the Big 12) and a visit to Cincinnati (13-11).

LSU took another step forward, but was it enough? The defending national champs, who were 3-12 in the league about a month ago, won their third consecutive SEC series, taking two of three from then-No. 1 Texas A&M in Baton Rouge, to improve to 31-18 overall and 9-15 in the SEC.

The Tigers’ RPI is up to No. 34 — definitely in range to earn an at-large invitation — but their league record is problematic. Nothing is guaranteed, but LSU would put itself in decent shape by going 4-2 down the stretch, with series at Alabama and at home against Ole Miss still on the schedule.

Indiana State swept Belmont in Terre Haute to improve to 34-10 overall and 17-4 in the Missouri Valley Conference. The Sycamores, with an RPI of 10, are in great position to host a Regional for the second consecutive season.

Indiana State has won 17 straight series in the MVC dating back to the end of the 2022 season.

East Carolina continues to roll in the American Athletic Conference. The Pirates took two of three from South Florida in Greenville, their sixth consecutive series win, and are now 37-9 overall and 16-5 in the AAC.

Here are some numbers to show just how dominant ECU has been relative to the rest of the league. In AAC games only:

• They are hitting .328 as a team, 22 percentage points better than No. 2 UTSA.
• They lead the league in slugging (.510), on-base percentage (.406) and runs scored (165).
• Their league-leading ERA of 3.38 is more than a full run lower than the next-best team, UAB at 4.64.
• Their batting average against is only .229, 27 percentage points lower than any other team in the league.

ECU hosts Duke on Tuesday in a huge nonconference game. The Pirates took two of three from North Carolina early in the season and are 2-0 against NC State in midweek games. Another win over an upper-echelon ACC team would add to an already strong postseason resume.

It should be a very interesting final two weeks in the Big Ten. Check out this mess:

• Illinois, 13-5
• Nebraska, 12-6
• Purdue, 12-6
• Indiana, 12-6

There are two huge series next weekend: Nebraska hosts Indiana and Illinois hosts Iowa. The Cornhuskers, with an RPI of 21, are the only postseason lock in the league. Illinois, Indiana and Purdue are in the 60s.

We had some serious Sun Belt drama on Sunday afternoon. Troy won the first two games of the series against Louisiana and needed to complete the sweep to tie the Ragin’ Cajuns atop the league standings.

Didn’t happen.

The Trojans scored five runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to tie the score at 12-12 but lost 14-13 in 10 innings and are now two games behind Louisiana with two series remaining

Southern Miss, which swept Coastal Carolina in Hattiesburg, is three games back at 15-9. Coastal, which has been ranked for much of the season, is 11-13 in the Sun Belt.

Clemson has had some epic comebacks this season, most notably against Florida State in late March when it rallied from seven runs down in the bottom of the ninth inning in Game 2 of the series and from down nine in the bottom of the sixth to complete the sweep in Game 3.

Well, the Tigers were on the other end of a comeback on Saturday when Georgia Tech scored 11 runs in the last three innings en route to a 14-12 win at Clemson.

The Tigers still won the series and continue to set the pace in the ACC Atlantic Division, with a 2.5-game lead over Florida State.

And finally

• Oklahoma State left fielder Nolan Schubart went 5-for-5 with four home runs and a double in a 21-6 win over Wichita State on Tuesday. That capped a four-game stretch in which Schubart went 14-for-20 with seven home runs and 17 RBIs.

• Nebraska junior Jackson Brockett, making his first start of the season, threw a no-hitter on Wednesday as the Huskers topped Kansas State 8-0. It was the sixth individual no-hitter in program history and the first nine-inning no-hitter since 1954.

• Notre Dame center fielder TJ Williams entered the discussion for catch of the year in the Fighting Irish’s 3-1 loss to Pittsburgh on Friday

What a catch from TJ Williams! @NDBaseball pic.twitter.com/XPUlUZKDsj — D1Baseball (@d1baseball) May 3, 2024

• Maryland-Eastern Shore dropped to 0-41 with a 10-9 loss at Le Moyne on Sunday. Mississippi Valley State went 0-14 in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. St. Peter’s, which went 0-38 in 2017, is the last team to go winless over a full season.

• Mississippi State has all but locked up a spot in the postseason — after missing the tournament past two years — and is in great position to be one of the 16 Regional hosts. The Bulldogs took two of three from Alabama over the weekend to improve to 32-16 overall and 14-10 in the SEC.

• Travis Bazzana hit three home runs in Oregon State’s 10-5 win at Washington State on Sunday. The Beavers won two of three in Pullman.

• Arizona swept Stanford in Tucson and has a two-game lead in the Pac-12. The Wildcats are 17-7 in league play, two games up on Utah, which lost two of three at Oregon.
