Resume Polish
25
In this unparalleled tight job market, you need every advantage. Presenting your qualifications through polished job search correspondence--highlighted by a resume, corresponding cover letter and comprehensive biography--are key steps in helping you connect with future employers.
Your resume needs to be outstanding: Your education and work background should be concisely described and easily accessed during a quick review; your relevant skills need to jump off the page; and, most importantly, your value as a future employee must be apparent (or, obvious).
Composing an effective cover letter can be a challenging part of the job search. Your goal is to demonstrate that your background and skills meet the hiring needs of employers--and therefore they should interview you.
Rounding out your job search communique is your biography, a succinct, powerful introduction to potential employers. You need to craft a unique and memorable profile that will make you shine among a sea of competitors.
