Professional Resume With A Cover Letter
By Christine Wales
A professional resume is attainable, even if you have difficulty
writing a resume. It is pretty easy to learn how to write a resume
with so many resources available. It is more than fancy paper
though.
It is about an introduction between two people. The cover letter
and resume will let an employer know who you are, and where you
have worked and why they should review their options and pick
you for the vacant position.
The Three Most Common Types Of Resumes
As you probably have already seen from different resume templates,
there are three different types of resumes to choose from when
creating your document. Chronological, Functional and Combination
are the three most prevalent forms of resumes that are requested
by employers. However, a professional resume does not stop there,
as there should also be a cover letter attached to all resume
distribution.
A cover letter is the most often overlooked piece of paper when
a person is applying for a job. This is particularly true of online
job banks. People upload their resume but fail to create a cover
letter. It may explain why they do not often hear back from the
company.
An Expectation Of A Cover Letter
An employer can learn more from a good cover letter than an excellent
resume. Cover letters show intent and why you would be a good
fit for the company. Take the time to write a cover letter. In
today’s job market it is expected, as it demonstrates good business
ethics and shows respect.
Even though there have been countless articles and interviews
done on this subject, it bears repeating as some people have not
learned the lesson. Do not lie on your resume.
It is good practice to make your resume stand out, but do not
do this by lying or fudging the facts. Most companies will check
to ensure that you are telling the truth about your salary history,
education and your past employment. It is not worth the repercussions.
Concise, Clear And To The Point
A professional resume does not have to be elaborate. It is a
document that tells your work history. It should be clear, concise
and to the point. The same goes for the cover letter. If you are
having trouble churning out a professional document, then you
can always hire someone to do the task for you.
Many online resume resources offer sample resumes and cover letters.
Just make sure to give them all of your information as well as
details about your past job experiences.

What is a cover letter?
A cover letter is a brief look into why you
want the position and why you think you are best suited among
all the applicants for the position. It shows that you have done
your homework and know about the company.
You should put the name of the position
you are seeking and the name of the person doing the hiring. This
is not the time to give your life story. Keep the cover letter
limited to relevant facts and limited to one page. It will go
along with your resume on top and be paper clipped all together.
