Let's Go!

You've had all summer to relax, plan, make lists - now it's time to get that new job!

Is your resume all polished? Cover letter spell-checked? Both printed on a 20 lb white or blue, beige, pastel paper (for resumes you will be sending by snail mail). Check resumes and cover letters you will be sending to employer websites by emailing a copy to yourself. Make sure the cover letter goes first. Address the cover letter to whomever the website states.

For presentations you will be emailing / sending to websites, the Write Place has developed a 'LETTER' RESUME.

Begin 'LETTER' RESUME:

More to come. The Write Place feels that a 'LETTER' resume may be best, first, as human resource personnel don't spend much time, initially, 10-30 seconds, deciding if you are right for an interview, or a second look. A 'LETTER' resume takes about 30 seconds to read and puts all of your cards on the table in that time.

You should also make it clear that you have a conventional resume if they wish to see it. In any case, take a good copy or two of your conventional resume to the interview.
