Resume/cover letter for the job application

For this assignment, you should search the Internet or print media (newspapers and magazines) to look for advertisements on job vacancies. It is appropriate for you to choose advertisements that relate to you career interest. When you find one that you are interested in, bring it to class. We shall brainstorm over that advertisement and find possible means to use it to do the assignment, and you will write a resume and application letter, in response to the advert you choose. In this sense, the assignment will be related to something concrete, which will challenge you to pay attention to the rhetorical factors that are likely to influence your writing style. See this assignment as a conduit pipe to getting a job during or after school. This assignment will be done based on the discussions in chapter 15 of the class textbook.

Basically I've already chosen the job application, I'll link that and I'll upload the book so you can see the format.
Really you're just making a resume/cover letter for the job application I'm going to link in the format of the ones in chapter 15.

You can just put in random information or whatever pertains to the job & I'll just cut out that content and add in my own information when it's done.

Human Resources

An accounting firm has just contacted your consulting business for assistance. They want to hire someone to do accounting and payroll. The bookstore is downstairs, while the office is upstairs in an older building. The essential functions of the job include operating a computer, maintaining a ledger, providing the owner with financial statements, completing tax returns, paying bills and employees, and balancing the bank statements. The desk for this is at the top of a flight of 24 steps. There is no elevator and the building is too old to be ADA compliant. The firm is struggling financially, but hopes to increase sales as a new coffee shop just opened next door. The most qualified applicant to their advertisement has just come into the bookstore in a wheelchair.

Choose a delivery style of delivering your recommendations to the accounting firm. Be sure to discuss whether this candidate is capable of performing the essential functions of this job from a wheelchair. Analyze and critically discuss the issue of reasonable accommodation. What does the law say? Could the employer make a reasonable accommodation here to hire the best candidate for this job? How could they do that considering their tight finances?
Find a court case on ADA that has reached a verdict, how did the court case interpret the law as written?
