The Concise Resume and Cover Letter Guide

As you know, your resume and cover letter are all employers have to evaluate you to determine whether to contact you for an interview. 

Do you find yourself in one of these situations?

• Are you unemployed and struggling to find a job without much success?
• Are you unhappy in your current job, but not having much success landing interviews for positions that you are interested in?
• Would you like to land a better position at your current employer, but don't have an up-to-date resume?
• Are you missing out on job opportunities you are qualified for because your resume isn't doing an effective job of presenting your experience and accomplishments?  Are you applying for positions where 100's of applicants are competing for one opening and your resume and cover letter alone will determine whether you will be contacted for an interview?
• Are you unsure how to make your resume more effective, but unable to afford a professional resume writer to develop your resume and cover letter for you?
• Or are you a do-it-yourselfer who would prefer to develop and modify your resume and cover letter yourself, but would like a quick, inexpensive way to learn how to effectively develop these materials?
• Or has it been so long since you last looked for a job that you really need to develop a resume "from scratch," but you don't know what today's resumes should include or how to get started?
• Do you have a CV, but are unfamiliar with U.S. resume customs and conventions?
