Producing a strong résumé and cover letter is the foundation for a successful job search. These documents are typically an employer’s first impression of you and your experience, and they play a critical role in their decision to move candidates forward in the search process.
A résumé is a brief written account of personal, educational, and professional qualifications and experiences. It includes carefully selected and organized information that shows how your skills and past experiences are related to your future job target or goals.
