Sample resume writing

Applying for a job can be very challenging in such competitive environment. However, having a well written resume can help getting a job interview which is mainly the purpose of resumes. See sample resume below.

Job openings are based on needs to fill certain job positions within the hiring entity. Depending on the number of candidates applying for a specific job position, it gets very competitive to even get an interview. Many corporations use electronic scoring systems that evaluate resumes and pretty much grade them according to skills, experience and educational background among other factors. That is why it is very crucial to have a resume that highlights areas of your strength and very specific to the job position you apply for.

Read job opening description and preferred experience and/or skills. Then tweak your resume to provide brief descriptions of applicable college courses and work experiences related to the job opening.

Including resume cover letter is also recommended but not required. However, you should include a cover letter to introduce yourself to the hiring company or employer. At the same time, it gives you a chance to demonstrate your interest in the company or a specific vacancy which may possibly draw more attention to your resume and motivate the hiring person to interview you.
