Resumes
A resume is a summary of your relevant experience and skills. While the layout and style of an effective resume can vary, there are basic guidelines to follow.
Cover Letters
A cover letter is not a generic document–it is tailored to a specific organization. You can create a prototype cover letter which you can personalize for each organization.
Interviewing
Successful candidates are ones who take the time to research the industry and prospective employers carefully and to practice their interview skills.
Building Transferable Skills
Employers are looking for applicants with specific competencies. Are these skills reflected in your resume, cover letter, and interview responses?
