Resumes and Cover Letters

Whether you are a seasoned professional starting the next chapter of your career or a recent graduate looking for an entry-level position, your résumé will play a pivotal role in any job application. With competition for job opportunities getting increasingly fierce every day, you need to make sure that you write your résumé strategically so that it can place you ahead of your competitors by helping you stand out from the crowd. A successful résumé will impress the hiring manager with its innovative, eye-catching, and stylish presentation. With the computerized applicant tracking system (ATS) automating the initial screening process, ensuring that your resume is ATS-compatible and optimized to get a high score is essential. ATS optimized résumés are written with several job-specific keywords thoughtfully placed all over the document to help it rank higher in the automated screening process.

On the other hand, a cover letter is a document that accompanies your resume as part of most job applications. Its purpose is to provide the hiring manager with information beyond the summary provided in your resume. For example, a cover letter can contain details on how your skill set aligns with the role, what you can bring to the team, and why you want the position. Your cover letter will often be the first document the hiring manager will read about you. Generally, employers tend to favour applications accompanied by cover letters and often request them as mandatory requirements for applications. Effective cover letters will make your application stand out and increase your chances of securing an interview.
