 Resume & Cover Letter

Sample Resume

http://www.nsu.edu/careerservices/pdf/SpartanCareerPlanningGuide.pdf ( page 12-13)

A resume is a “self-promotional” document designed to market your skills, abilities and knowledge and experience to a prospective employer so that they will want to know more in an interview.

  • You can drop your resume off and a professional will review your resume with 72 business hours

Sample Cover Letter

http://www.nsu.edu/careerservices/pdf/SpartanCareerPlanningGuide.pdf (Pages 8-9)

Always include a cover letter explaining your reason for submitting the resume. It serves as an introduction, highlights specific skills that match the job description and exhibits written communication skills. Every resume whether faxed, delivered or emailed should include a cover letter. Do not create cookie-cutter cover letters, but create it specifically for each position.
