Résumés and Cover Letters

A powerful résumé is essential for students applying for jobs or graduate schools.  Just as important is the cover letter because it reflects your personality and summarizes your skills and experience.

Effective résumés are:  

• Clear, succinct, and powerful

• One page (standard), two pages at most (CVs are longer)

• Free of typos and grammatical errors

In editing résumés and cover letters, I:

• Correct errors in grammar, punctuation, spelling, and word use

• Streamline sentences and job descriptions

• Begin job descriptions with strong, active verbs

• Choose words that convey confidence

• Suggest colorful vocabulary

• Delete jargon

• Highlight on-the-job and academic accomplishments
