CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING WHEN YOU SEARCH FOR JOBS:
- Identify your interests and goals
- Evaluate your qualifications
- Learn about careers and choose a path
- Search for a job (online or traditional)
When writing a resume, it is critical that you stand out and customize for the jobs you want. The more your resume fits the job, the more likely the company will call you in. Consider the following when writing your resume:
- Prepare by researching the job market, analyze your strengths, and research good resumes
- Choose resume style
- Arrange parts of the resume
- Polish the resume
If resumes show your skills and qualifications, cover letters show your personality and overview of your skills. Think of it as an executive summary of your cover letter combined with an elevator pitch of who you are and why you are right for the position. Cover letters are simply persuasive letters to a desired employer- remember AIDA and the 3x3 process for persuasive letters. See Creative Cover Letter forum for some great ideas.
