Cover Letters

Generally, when applying for a position, submitting a cover letter and resume is crucial. The cover letter should not summarize but, rather, highlight the resume making the reader want to know more. Once an employer decides to look at the resume you have less than a minute to wow them before they move on to the next applicant. Your skills and qualifications should jump out and be easy to skim through. Use your minute wisely by learning how to write a cover letter and resume that will get you invited for an interview. After an interview you will definitely want to send a thank you note. Other considerations must be given to inquiry letters and portfolios. Use the links below to learn more about resumes.
