Resumes & COVER LETTERS

SAMPLE RESUMES

Your resume might be your first and only opportunity to impress an employer. Whether you use one of these samples, or you make use of JobJump's resume writing wizard, you need to make sure that all of your information is correct and free of spelling/grammar errors. There's a fair chance the employer will have a large amount of applicants, which means they will be reading a large amount of resumes, and often the first cut is made based on an applicant's spelling and grammar. You may think this isn't fair because the job may not involve a lot of writing, but that's the way of the world, and you need to make it past the first cut! To help you make it past this first cut, have someone you know and trust proofread your resume (and cover letter) before you submit it. Your Careers Adviser can to do this for you.
