Think of your résuméas a personal advertisement….typically a one-page representation of your education, workexperience, accomplishments and skills. You will present your achievements and abilities insuch a way to generate enough interest for a potential employer to grant you an interview.  \nWHY DO I NEED A COVER LETTER?  \nCover letters introduce your résumé and entice the reader toreadit. They are not typically requested by aprospective employer, but should accompany any mailed résumé . The contents will change with eachposition to which you apply, as you will use the cover letter to show the employer how your skills andexperience meet the needs of their position. You will need to show specifics and make that connectioneach time you apply.  \nWHAT ARE REFERENCES AND WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT?  \nReferences will be requested by potential employers who are serious about your candidacy. Listprofessionals, like clergy, faculty, or managers who will tell the recruiting professional about yourcharacter and professional habits, but not managers or supervisors for whom you worked. Itisunderstood that you will have a reference page when applying to jobs, but itis not part oftherésumé .  \nHOW DO I BEGIN?  \nRemember, the goal of your résumé is to gainan interview. The interviewer’s goal is to match yourqualifications with the company’s needs. To do this, you need to have a clear understanding of who youare and what you want. What do you have to offer an employer? What makes you stand out from otherapplicants?  \nSelf-evaluation isthe first step.  \n􀁸 Determine your objective. This is an opportunity to see if your aspirations are compatible with theneeds of the employer’s organization.  \n􀁸 Learn as much as possible about the prospective job opportunity. What are the company’s missionand core values? What qualifications are desired? Begin by visiting their website, but try to schedulea site visit or informational interview with current employees as well.  \n􀁸 Know your skills, strengths, qualificationsand accomplishments and how they relate to the job  \n| you are seeking.   |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Dr. Hester Young, CPRW   | hyoung@csuniv.edu   |\n| Ms. Nicole Copland, CPRW   | ncopland@csuniv.edu   |\n| 843-863-8019  \u003Cbr>Integrating Faith in Learning, Leading and Serving   |  |\n\nTABLE OF CONTENTS  \nPages  \nRÉSUMÉ WRITING TIPS FOR VETERANS ................................ ....................... 4-6  \nWORDS EVERY RÉSUMÉ SHOULD INCLUDE ................................ ......................7  \nRÉSUMÉ DO’S AND DON’TS................................ ................................ .............8  \nACTION VERBS FOR RÉSUMÉS ................................ ................................ .. 9-10  \nSAMPLE RÉSUMÉS ................................ ................................ ..................11-15  \nCOVER LETTERS................................ ................................ .....................16-18  \nREFERENCE PAGE ................................ ................................ ..................19-20  \nDOCUMENT CRITIQUES: BUCCAREER NETWORK ................................ ............21  \nCAREER CENTER RESOURCES ................................ ................................ .....22  \nTHE CAREER CENTER STAFF AND OFFICE HOURS ................................ ..........23  \nVETERANS  \nRésumé  \n1.
