Resume and Cover Letter Guide
A resume is a personalized statement, which documents your competencies, accomplishments, skills and abilities, and future capabilities. It can be compared to a lawyer's brief in that you present a convincing case for yourself. It is a focused statement used to highlight your knowledge, skills, abilities, educational and experiential background as these characteristics relate to particular jobs/fields that are of interest to you.
The purpose of the cover letter, like the resume, is to make a prospective employer want to interview you. The letter should introduce you to the employer, highlight experience in the resume that may meet the organization's needs, and show that you are interested in this particular firm.
