Resumes and Cover Letters

You’ve invested in your career, and are ready to make your next move. But in the heat of a job search, the urgency of sending a resume and cover letter to a Recruiter or Hiring Manager can often take priority over its quality.

Don’t let this happen to you!

An effective resume and cover letter (think of it as a letter of introduction!) is not merely a laundry list of company names, job titles, and dates.

Resumes and cover letters are marketing tools that can advance your career. With help from City Career Services, yours will highlight and promote your:

Hard & Soft Skills – As you know, hard skills can be learned, it is those magical soft skills that are difficult to find. A City Career Services resume and cover letter will reflect both for you!

Accomplishments & Experience – You have achieved so much! The way you made a difference for your company is what a potential employer needs to know. It goes beyond listing your responsibilities – it is the result of those assignments that are valuable!

Skill Set & Training – Make sure your advanced degrees, important training experiences, and complex skill sets are displayed prominently by integrating them in your accomplishments.

In addition to your industry, company, and job knowledge; desire for the position; and your ability to exceed expectations.

Resumes come in many shapes and sizes – your needs depend on your industry, profession, and goals. Talk to Kimberly about everything from a hard-hitting 1-page Networking Resume to a full-blown, contribution-rich 2- or 3-page Resume.

Cover letters are often ignored by job seekers because it is difficult to craft one in a way that will truly capture the potential employers’ attention. Let City Career Services do this for you! Having a really good letter will distinguish you from the pack and, most importantly, it will make a positive difference in your search!
