Resume Building

Resume Tips for landing your next career

Building your resume, particularly from scratch, might seem like an entire project on its own. Don’t let this become bigger than it really is. Creating your resume should be quite basic. Start off with your most recent job and work your way in reverse. Employers prefer to go through a chronological resume, one that shows us your history. Be sure to include a section on your education and training, and any associations you may be a member of. If you have some volunteer work you would like to show off, include that too.

Composing a cover letter should be a standard practice, not to mention it should be personalized to the company you are applying to. List their company name and address in your letter and direct it to their HR Team or the specific Hiring Manger for the role. Identify the exact job title you are applying to in place of referencing the open role.

Your cover letter does not have to be very long, however it should be neat and tidy, formatted in a way that conveys your attention to detail, and include information about the company that required you to look up. It is the first impression to what comes after.
