Building a Great Resume
The first step in applying for a job is having an up-to-date, professional resume. Your resume should highlight broad skills that you’ve acquired throughout your life, and include projects or qualifications that demonstrate you are the best candidate for a position. You have qualifications to offer even if your experience may appear unrelated to the job in which you’re interested. Are you applying for a position in the federal government? See how to build a federal resume here.
Writing a Concise Cover Letter
While a cover letter is not always required for a job application, it’s an additional opportunity to highlight your qualifications for a position. A coach will help you create a cover letter specific to your industry and tailor your cover letter to fit various positions.
