Resume and Cover Letter

Resume and Cover Letter
An applicant’s professional history and qualifications are outlined in a resume. A cover letter is a way for
the applicant to make a professional introduction to the hiring manager and demonstrate an interest in the
company.
Develop a current resume and create a formal cover letter for a position for which you would like to apply.
Create both the cover letter and resume using a professionally accepted format.
Include the following:
Resume: Detail your overall education, credentials, and professional experience, such as licenses, earned
degrees, certifications, professional experiences, previous positions held, membership in professional
organizations, publications, and skills.
Write a one-page double spaced introductory cover letter in which you explain your professional objectives,
professional interests, and strengths as an applicant.
Prior to submission, share your resume with a colleague and obtain feedback. Revise your resume as
needed
