Resume and Cover Letter Resources
A resume is a career document that serves as a summary of your personal information, your relevant skills, educational background and work experience. Most employers will ask for a resume when you apply for a position at their company, so it is very important to have a professional and well made document. Remember: your resume makes the first impression!Â
A Curriculum Vitae (commonly referred to as a CV) is a similar document to a resume. It is often required in applying for academic careers or programs. To see more information on the difference between a CV and a resume refer to the Resume vs CV sheet linked below. Â
A cover letter generally accompanies a resume or CV when applying for a position. The cover letter is an opportunity to introduce yourself to the employer. The goal is to demonstrate the match between the job requirements and your skills/qualifications. It’s important to target and customize your cover letter to the company and to link your unique interests and skills to the specific job opportunity.
