Useful link When you send in your CV to a manager or recruiter to apply for an advertised vacancy or to let him or her know that you are looking for work, you'll normally send a covering letter too. If you're applying for an existing vacancy, your covering letter should briefly describe the position you're applying for and where you saw it advertised, why you are particularly qualified for the job, and why you want to work for that specific company. If you're approaching an agency to register your CV as part of your search for a new job, you should describe the type of job you're looking for, the skills you have that would make you an attractive candidate, your current salary, and any preferences you may have in terms of location. In all cases, a good covering letter can give a sense of who you are that may not come across in a...

...All cover letters should: Explain why you are sending a resume. Don't send a resume without a cover letter. Don't make the reader guess what you are asking for; be specific: Do you want a summer internship opportunity, or a permanent position at graduation; are you inquiring about future employment possibilities? Tell specifically how you learned about the position or the organization — a flyer posted in your department, a web site, a family friend who works at the organization. It is appropriate to mention the name of someone who suggested that you write. Convince the reader to look at your resume. The cover letter will be seen first. Therefore, it must be very well written and targeted to that employer. Call attention to elements of your background — education, leadership, experience — that are relevant to a position you are seeking. Be as specific as possible, using examples. Reflect your attitude, personality, motivation, enthusiasm, and communication skills. Provide or refer to any information specifically requested in a job advertisement that might not be covered in your resume, such as availability date, or reference to an attached writing sample. Indicate what you will do to follow-up. In a letter of application — applying for an advertised opening — applicants often say something like "I look forward to hearing from you." However, if you have further contact info (e.g. phone number) and if...

...Do you know how huge of a role a resume has in an individual’s life? Resumes play imperative roles and they are the best recommendation. Having a resume during interview times are very crucial and being sure that it includes the main parts an employer seeks is just as important. The benefits of having a resume can be tremendous and also hugely impact the future of an interviewee. Having a clear understanding of what to include in a resume is the first step in preparing a resume. A resume is a document that summarizes your education, skills, talents, employment history, and experiences in a clear and concise format for potential employers. Being sure to meet an employer’s expectations by incorporating the main parts of a resume is an advantage over those who do not. When preparing a resume be sure to include your contact information, objective or goal, work experience, and education. There are many different formats for preparing a resume, but most employers prefer the Reverse Chorological resume format. The contact information is the first part of a resume a potential employer sees. Including your contact information would definitely be one of the most important parts of a resume. If you don’t include your contact information, then how can the employer contact you to set up for an interview? So, be sure that your current information is available for the employer. This section of a resume is often located at the top of your document. Contact information should include your full...

...In preparation for career fair, I focused on how to present myself and what companies I wanted to visit. I updated my resume in response to the suggestions made when I turned it in for one of the previous assignments in Business 101. In order to keep a professional appearance, I bought special resume paper at the Illini Union Bookstore rather than using standard paper. Once I had my resume up to date and my business professional attire ready, I researched the companies attending career fair. I looked on Handshake to see the companies attending and wrote down the ones I wanted to check out. As a result, I already had a game plan before attending the fair. As I was heading to the fair, I met someone on the bus who was also going, so we decided on being somewhat like partners. Therefore, my first look at career fair wasn’t as overwhelming because I had comfort in the fact that I was with someone also experiencing the fair for the first time. For the first five minutes, I got a map of the fair and circled the companies I wanted to visit (from my research the night before) on the map. The fair was huge, so mapping out my route helped scale it down. Once I mapped out where I wanted to go, I had to break apart with my partner because we had different companies we wanted to visit. By then, I met my first recruiter. My first interaction with a recruiter was for Teach For America. There were relatively few people surrounding the booth, so greeting the recruiter was fairly easy....

When writing my resume I highlight and point out the main key points I want them to see right away. Again, this is taking into account the skills they are looking for. I also make sure everything is clear to read. For instance, not using abbreviations they won’t be able to understand on their own. Once, I have finished my resume I proofread multiple times and I at least hand it to two other people for feedback.

I am very interested in this position with MILY’s, and believe that my education and employment background are appropriate for the position.

...Resources representative with TRON to build core human resource and business expertise skills. Assignments within this job posting include labor relations benefits, talent acquisition among others. The hiring decision process included some challenges and difficulties. At times, not every member was present at the same time in order to collaborate live about the strengths and weaknesses of each applying candidate. Hiring the right candidate was our choice and responsibility to insure that we are avoiding a future employee that could present threats or problems for TRON. This responsibility put a lot of pressure on my hiring committee. Also, it was difficult when candidates would not submit the assignments in a timely manner, such as the cover letter, resume, or online interview stream. This led to difficulty in collaborating and discussing the candidates’ job eligibility. When it came time to hire an individual, we went through a series of questions to assess each candidate. First we simply asked the hiring committee “is the applicant qualified to perform the job?”. We needed to think twice before hiring an applicant into a job that is outside his or her set of skills and knowledge. Next we asked, “is the applicant enthusiastic?”. It is important for an applicant to express enthusiasm for the job they are applying for because the more excited they are, the more effort they will put into the job. Showing enthusiasm can point toward the applicant’s work ethic and performance...
