20. RESUME Tips 15
5 KEY CONCEPTS FOR POWERFUL, EFFECTIVE RESUMES
1. Your resume is YOUR marketing tool, not a
personnel document.
2. It is about YOU the job hunter, not just about the
jobs you've held.
3. It focuses on your future, not your past.
4. It emphasizes your accomplishments, not your
past job duties or job descriptions.
5. It documents skills you enjoy using, not skills you
used just because you had to.
21. 10 Steps in Creating a Good
Resume
15
1. Choose a target job (also called a "job
objective"). An actual job title works best.
2. Find out what skills, knowledge, and experience
are needed to do that target job.
3. Make a list of your 2, 3, or 4 strongest skills or
abilities or knowledge that make you a good
candidate for the target job.
4. For each key skill, think of several
accomplishments from your past work history
that illustrate that skill.
22. 10 Steps in Creating a Good
Resume
15
5. Describe each accomplishment in a simple,
powerful, action statement that emphasizes the
results that benefited your employer.
6. Make a list of the primary jobs you've held, in
chronological order. Include any unpaid work
that fills a gap or that shows you have the skills
for the job.
7. Make a list of your training and education that's
related to the new job you want.
23. 10 Steps in Creating a Good
Resume

8. Choose a resume format that fits your
situation--either chronological or functional.
[Functional works best if you're changing fields;
chronological works well if you're moving up in
the same field.]
9. Arrange your action statements according to the
format you choose.
10. Summarize your key points at the top of your
resume
24. A GOOD COVER LETTER 15
Purpose
Your cover letter and resume usually provide all the information which a
prospective employer will use to decide whether or not you will reach the next
phase in the application process: the interview.
While your goal is an interview and, ultimately, a job offer, the more immediate
purpose of your cover letter in some cases may simply be to gain an attentive
audience for your resume.
You want the reader to know:
why you want to work at that specific company,
why you fit with that company
how you qualify for the position to which you applying.
In addition to tailoring your application to a specific job with a specific company , the cover
letter should also
highlight the most important and relevant accomplishments, skills, and experience listed in your resume
point to the resume in some way (as detailed in the enclosed resume")
request specific follow up, such as an interview.
25. 15
Format
in paragraph form with a conversational, though formal, tone.
first paragraph should be brief, perhaps two or three sentences, stating:
what job you are applying for and how you learned about it
any personal contacts you have in or with the company
your general qualifications for the job.
body of your letter should consist of one to three longer paragraphs in
which you expand upon your qualifications for the position:
Pick out the most relevant qualifications, demonstrating how your background and
experience qualify you for the job
Be as specific as possible
refer the reader to your resume for additional details.
concluding paragraph of your letter should request an interview
State where and when you can be reached
express your willingness to come to an interview
Close by thanking your reader for his or her time and consideration.

What makes a Good Cover Letter?
1. No spelling or typing errors. Not even one.
2. Address it to the person who can hire you. Be sure the name is spelled correctly
and the title is correct. A touch of formality is good too: address the person as
"Mr.," "Ms.," "Mrs.," "Miss," "Dr.," or "Professor." (Yes, life is complicated.)
3. Write it in your own words so that it sounds like you - not like something out of a
book.
4. Being "natural" makes many people nervous. And then even more nervous
because they are trying to avoid spelling errors and grammatical mistakes.
5. Show that you know something about the company and the industry. You know
who they are, what they do and you have chosen them!
6. Use terms and phrases that are meaningful to the employer. (This is where your
industry research and networking come in.) If you are applying for an advertised
position, use the requirements in the ad and put them in BOLD type. For example:
the ad says-- 2 years' experience processing magnetic media (cartridge, tape,
disc); interface with benefit plan design, contracts and claims; and business
background with strong analytical & technical skills--dBase, Excel, R&R, SQL."
