Resume/cover letter
You have help for that here, but here are a few basics that bear reinforcing.
No typos. The worst thing you can do is be sloppy. Have someone else proofread it for you.
Be organized. Use a sequence and layout that make sense; don’t make someone work too hard to see your experience.
Package it! Remember our Apple box; make it look good. Use a clean, basic font, plenty of space between lines and no unnecessary words. Fewer words make the important ones stand out.
