JourneytoSaving All very good tips! And so important to keep in mind. It might take a while to find a template that is clean and concise, but the time spent on it is so worth it!

I always tailor my cover letter to the position I am applying for. I think the biggest thing is having a clear, concise resume. We have been hiring at my job, and I’ve seen a handful of the resumes that have been sent in. Some of them are big walls of text, and others just look plain. I wouldn’t be too enticed to read them! The other thing we’ve noticed is that some older people still have stuff from high school on their resume (people with 10+ years of working). Keep irrelevant information off your resume!

I usually will tweak my resume to cater to the position of the job but I have never been able to put together cover letters. I have always just thought of them as a waste of time. Any one I’ve ever seen just looked like a resume in paragraph form. I realize I might take some flak for that thinking, but I’ve been able to acquire jobs without them so far.

I look through resumes for my job and it’s a pet peeve when someone has more than one page for an entry level position. Don’t list every job you’ve ever done. Tailor your objective specifically for the company.

Monicaonmoney It took me a while to figure it out too; if you want great results (ie, make it to interviews), you really need to take the time to work on each resume and utilize the job posting to do it!
