John Balance 178 Green Street(501) 555-5555Akron, Ohio 44302 March 12, 2010 Pat Cummings Human Resources Director Any Corporation 1140 Main Street Akron, Ohio 44302 Dear Ms. Cummings: I am responding to your recent request in the Akron Beacon Journal for a Business Consultant. As you can see from my current background and educational experience, I am a qualified candidate for this position. Currently, I am a faculty member in the Department of Management and Aviation Science at Kent State University. I am also engaged in several temporary assignments involving the installation, conversion, and maintenance of automated accounting systems, troubleshooting, and training. I have working knowledge of, and have taught several applications and operating systems. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of electronic spreadsheets (1-2-3, Excel, Quattro, etc.), and word processing and accounting (Peachtree, AccPac, Great Plains, MYOB, Quicken, Quickbooks, One-Write Plus, etc.) in Windows, Mac, and traditional DOS (IBM/PC) environments. In strategic market development, the ability to assess customer needs relative to overall market conditions and to respond to them rapidly is critical for successful business development. Let me provide you with innovative approaches to getting the job done based on action, not words. I would like the opportunity to help you increase your value-added services and profitability. I look forward to discussing this further. I will follow-up next week with a phone call to see when we can set up a time to meet. Sincerely, John Balance Enc. resume

56. Proofread CAREFULLY Check for errors Keep it to one page Make sure it is typed Match stationary Highlight your skills Tailor your cover letter (and resume) to the employer
if you are unable to change your career objective on your resume to fit each job for which you apply, using this type of objective is an option. Note that each objective mentions a field, also.
Resume Action Verbs & KeywordsIf your resume is scanned electronically by a potential employer, the computer scanner will pick up on these keywords. Electronic resume scanners are programmed to look for key terms in your resume. Without them, your resume could be discarded. Use the below as a starting point, however we recommend to read the job posting closely. The verbs they are looking for will usually be included in the posting. Aaccelerated, acclimated, accompanied, accomplished, achieved, acquired, acted, activated, actuated, adapted, added, addressed, adhered, adjusted, administered, admitted, adopted, advanced, advertised, advisedBbalanced, bargained, borrowed, bought, broadened, budgeted
DECEIT – Purge your resume of any false information immediately! Lying about job titles, dates of employment, awards, or inflating statistics, financial figures, or numbers of employees supervised will definitely catch up with you in the end. Do not falsify college or grad school degrees — if you did not graduate, just indicate the number of credits or years of undergraduate classes you actually attended. More and more companies are doing background checks on prospective employees and they are looking for precisely these types of falsehoods.OMISSION – If your resume contains gaps in years of employment, it will raise questions. If you can explain the time away from employment and feel that it would be important for a prospective employer to know this information, include it in your cover letter. If you did not graduate from college but did take any professional training courses, include this information under the “Education” heading instead of just leaving off any reference to education.INCONSISTENCY – Job hopping and presenting work experience in various fields can be disconcerting and raise a few red flags about your ability to stick with a job for any length of time. If you have moved about and changed fields over the years, it may be in your best interest to group these positions by category (a functional resume style) rather than by date (reverse chronological style). List the category, for example “Pharmaceutical Sales” and then present the related work experience. Then list the next category “Financial Services” with its related job information.TEDIUM – Resumes are meant to be concise portraits of your career experiences and strengths. You are not doing yourself a favor by rambling on for three pages or presenting your job information in large, wordy paragraphs. Break up the information with bullets to highlight your accomplishments or achievements, key words, and brief descriptions of your day to day responsibilities.SENILITY – Recruiters, HR Directors, and Personnel Managers want to know “What have you done lately?” A strong resume should highlight the past 10-12 years of work experience. Don’t give as much emphasis to your current job as to the jobs you held 20 years ago. Times change, technology changes, and the experiences gained in those after-school and summer jobs during high school just don’t matter any more.NARCISSISM – Never use the pronoun “I” when writing your resume. Resumes are written in the third person. Do not claim full credit for achievements accomplished as part of a team or group effort. Don’t include personal information on your resume such as hobbies, religious organizations, or marital status.SLOTH – Your resume could be the equivalent of career gold but if it is presented with typographical errors, or on stained or badly reproduced paper, that is the personal image the prospective employer will be left pondering. It only takes a few minutes to make sure that the document representing your best chances for new and rewarding employment opportunities is clean, crisp, and professional in appearance.There you have it – the “Seven Deadly Sins of Resume Writing” – ignore them at your own risk!
This letter does a great job of highlighting the match between the employer's requirements and her skills and accomplishments. The two-column method is an attractive way of showcasing the match.
