Job Application Tips
Resumes & Cover letters
You may be wondering what the benefits are in having a well-written resume and cover letter prepared for you. Creating a resume allows potential employers to see what you can offer their company or organization and is a formal way to advertise your professional experience and skills.
As for the cover letter, you might feel that the cover letter is just repeating what you already stated in your resume, but this is far from the truth. The cover letter is a great way to showcase your personality and highlight the skills that pertain to the job while showing an employer your capabilities and why you are the right person for the job. Oftentimes a well-written cover letter is a deciding factor in whether or not you get an interview.
Thank You Letters
The job interview process has changed dramatically over the last few years and the need to make a lasting impression is key in today’s workforce. After an in-person interview, it is always a good idea to send a thank you letter or message as a way to express your appreciation for the opportunity and showcase your professionalism. With many hiring managers and recruiters being bombarded with countless resumes, thank you letters are a good way to keep you at the forefront of their minds as they are evaluating candidates for a position.
