Tips for improving your cover letter and résumé Globe_Careers
Recruiters will probably look at your cover letter before seeing your résumé. Unfortunately, too often we don’t put much thought into how to make that cover letter zing.
After the cover letter, the recruiter will see the summary atop the resume. Often, because they are so general and bland, many advisers recommend against wasting the space. But thecareer site recommends a strong summary that makes you stand out. Like the cover letter, it should be tailored to the job. “Never put something generic like ‘seeking a challenging position at a progressive company.’ It will get ignored,” the site advises.
And there’s no need to waste space advising that references will be available on request since the readers know that, career writer Alison Doyle says. If it’s not a design job, don’t show off your design skills. “Keep your résumé layout simple. You don’t need a headshot, a fancy border, or clip art. It distracts the reader from what’s important: your qualifications,” he says.Pick one thing to do today that you were going to put off, says productivity consultant Craig Jarrow. If you do that every day, you will be amazed at what you achieve.
