Your resume communicates your qualifications and your brand – who you are and what makes you different – to employers and recruiters. In a tough job market, you need a resume that helps you stand out in a sea of applicants.

A great resume:

• Grabs the attention of employers and recruiters.
• Sells your strongest skills and accomplishments.
• Shows why you’re a potential match for a position or project.
• Communicates both your current capabilities and potential.
• Helps you take the next step in your career.
• And most importantly, gets you the interview.

You also need a great cover letter

A cover letter is just as important as your resume.  It is an opportunity to personalize your resume and sell your skills. These are the important sections in every cover letter:

• Heading and greeting.
• Opening and introduction.
• Body copy.
• Assertive closing.
