Prior to the start of WRT-382, I had put little thought into my resume and cover letter. I didn’t realize that hiring employers spend less than a minute on each applicant’s resumes.

In other word, the resume is a front door of an interview. It is a smart method that putting the most stand out skills at the top of the resume because it catches the recruiter’s impression. In general, the resume should only have one page because recruiters usually look each resumes between three to five seconds. They do not have time to read your second pages due to recruiters generally receive hundreds or thousands resumes for one position.

From “How to Answer Tricky Interview Questions”, I learned before going into an interview, the interviewee must prepare themselves by writing out answers to interview questions and practicing them out loud. It is crucial to have answers on hand and somewhat memorized to show the interviewer that they are prepared and professional. Also, from the article, “Leaving Your

Unquestionably, Joyce Lain Kennedy is a subject matter expert in the resume industry. Throughout her book titled “Resumes for Dummies” (herein known as “the book”) she repeatedly demonstrated comprehensive industry-knowledge with respect to resume writing. Her in-depth comprehension covered a broad range of topics such as: how to manage the digital age, screening and search tools, appropriate formatting, as well as managing and positioning resume content, among many others. Furthermore, she focused on many contemporary issues, which are encountered by both job seekers and resume writers alike. These difficulties have unquestionably disrupted the environment of the profession in recent years.

Second chances in life are rare, yet I was given the opportunity not so long ago. For me it all started on the last day of high school. I was about to embark on a new journey away from home, as most kids my age were. For most of my colleagues, they were heading to college. Others were heading straight into the work force. A select few, including myself, were heading to the military. In the military I grew up fast and soon found myself completing my four years of service in no time. I was left without job and not a clear sense of direction of where I wanted my life to end up. Within my state of limbo, I realized I had been given a second chance to start over, as if life hit a reset button. This left me in a situation comparable to when I originally graduated high school, but was given a chance to choose a different job. I decided to transition into a new career in nursing.

In this course, I’ve learned the appropriate audience, purpose, structure, and voice for a cover letter. A cover letter accompanies a resume and is written formally. It is used to convince the company that you are fit to be hired, and to introduce yourself to them. The audience of a cover letter is the manager of a business or company. The purpose is to introduce yourself to a potential employer and to highlight any relevant skills you possess. The structure of a cover letter includes your address, the date, the recipient’s address, and a salutation. The opening paragraph states why you’re writing, establishes a point of contact, and gives a brief introduction of yourself. The body paragraphs highlight some of the more important points from your resume. The closing paragraph should politely request an interview at the employer’s convenience. Identify what supplementary material’s being sent, such as a writing sample or a portfolio. The reader should be thanked for their consideration and you should indicate that you’re looking forward to hearing from them. There should be a complimentary closing followed by your name and signature. The voice of a cover letter should be polite, formal, and concise.
