Resume & Cover Letter Writing


Resumes

Your resume is a summary of your abilities, education, and experience(s). It highlights what you have accomplished and sets you apart from other candidates who are applying to the same role.  Your resume is a living document which changes over time.  There are multiple ways to construct a resume, but make sure you design your resume that provides the employer critical information about all your accomplishments.  Always be honest and proofread before sending out to employers.

Cover Letter

Your cover letter is an introduction about you and markets you as well.  A cover letter provides your potential employer the reason why you are seeking the role at their company.  It also provides an effective summary of skills, experiences, and true interest for the organization.  The cover letter illustrates how perfectly you match what they are seeking in an individual. Lastly, the cover letter provides the employer with your written communication skills.  Take time to create your letter and proofread before sending to an employer.

Remember!

Your Resume and Cover Letter are marketing tools! Put your best foot forward by using the tools linked here!
