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
