Resumes and Cover Letters
Your Cover Letter and Resume are often your first contact with the organisation with which you are applying; it is your first ‘appearance’, and therefore important to get right! There are many different resume formats, and cover letter templates which you can find both online and also within your software like Microsoft Word. Different jobs or opportunities will be suited to different formats, but the approach remains the same … personal, attention to detail, accurate, and ‘tells your story’. We have sourced a range of tips and examples for you below and encourage you to explore and then take time to look at your Resume and Cover Letters, and update where possible. Remember … this is your chance to make a great first impression!
