There is no one single right way to write a resume.

But one thing is certain: You need to make sure your resume stands out among the rest.

What is a resume?

A resume is a document that shows an employer who you are and what you can do for them. It highlights your background: education, work experience, community service, knowledge, skills and accomplishments.

BENEFITS OF WRITING A RESUME:

  • Grabs employers' attention

  • Helps you see your own qualifications

  • Shows employers why they should call you for a job interview

What is a cover letter?

A cover letter is a one-page document to introduce your resume. It tells employers why you are contacting them, entices them to read your resume, and asks them for an interview. A cover letter is personalized to directly link to an employer's specific needs.

BENEFITS OF WRITING A COVER LETTER:

  • Shows you are a serious professional

  • Unique to each employer: Connects specifically to job ad

  • Demonstrates good writing skills to show your personality
