    Constructing Your Resume and Cover Letter

    It’s critical that employers can envision candidates as successful employees. Consider your past experiences and how they may be relevant to the job--this is your career narrative. The narrative, in turn, helps you determine what to include and how to frame what you put in your cover letter and on your resume. A cover letter is the first impression that a potential employer has of you. Your resume is your story to that point detailed in a professional manner. Together, these two aid in getting you jobs and throughout this course you will find various resources to help you construct both a cover letter and a resume.
