Being a student has its own set of downsides, but is normally the best time of someone’s life. Being a young professional has also its own setbacks but is usually the most promising time of someone’s life. Anyone between being a student and being a young professional has its own set of perks but is generally one of the hardest, not to mention confusing, time of someone’s life. The “anyone” here is clearly the jobseeker. This is the person who tries to prove him/her worth to be accepted in the company that he/she wants to work to. And if you’re a jobseeker who just walked out of your university, then your weapons to prove your worth are limited. That’s why you need the have or to write the very best resume and cover letter that you can.

Here are some of the things you need to do and remember to avoid owning the lousiest resume and cover letter in jobseekers-land.

1. You can look for resume cover letter template in the internet but avoid using one. You can review or look the style of a resume cover letter template but under no circumstances should you copy the template for your cover letter. The thing with resume cover letter template is that it can confuse your potential employer. Of course, you have your resume and your cover letter, so why do you need a resume cover letter for? Instead of helping you with your goal, it can just ruin your chances. Besides, most templates online are spoon feeding the jobseekers which is not a good thing to do. If you want to have a great resume AND cover letter, you need to work on it hard.

2. If you can’t really resist on using a resume cover letter template then make sure that you just get the general picture. Filling in the blanks on a template will earn your resume a one way ticket to the paper shredder. Cover letter templates can be downloaded online. If you’ve just downloaded one and use it in your resume cover letter then you just copied your work and unoriginal letters can ruin your chances in getting the job. So remember, use a template if you wish - but please, make it unique.

3. Nobody wants to read a boring letter. If a hopeless romantic can tolerate a boring letter then for sure, your potential employer won’t. Your resume and letter should be concise but outlined properly. They should highlight your strengths and your genuine desire to work for the company. Do not even attempt to write the short version of your life story because as early as now, you should know that it will not work. What hiring people want to read is a potential employee that not only knows what he/she wants but also knows how to say it through the letter.

4. Write the truth and nothing but the truth. Exaggeration will just humiliate you. If you know that you have what it takes to be the next hired employee of the company then you should write it with a sense of accuracy and humility.

I'm hoping to work at TD or HSBC this summer. All help is appreciated =)

there are tons online…. monster.com (and probably other job websites) has a wealth of information and resources including sample cover letters. i actually had a class last semister that was all about business documentation, but it would be easier to look up than for me to explain. also, check and see if your school has a job center. my school has one and they'll sit down with you, go over your resume, cover letter, and do mock interviews.

Does anyone know a good link where I can find an example of a cover letter to send to a casting director? Or have you written one before and landed an audition, would you be able to share some advice with me? Thanks…

Here's a link to an example of a cover letter:

Here's tips for writing a cover letter:
The Cover Letter
Your cover letter, whether the body of an e-mail, the text on your personal homepage, or a print-out attached to your headshot, is one of the first things that casting directors, producers, directors, agents, choreographers, etc., will use to form their basic first impression of you, quite often even before they've met you. Therefore, it is imperative to your success that it sends the right kind of message about you. Whatever form this introductory letter takes, it should always be the following:
1. Businesslike, but not too formal. Friendly is good. Disrespectful is bad. Avoid slang and the exclamation point, and don't ramble. Get right to the point. Thank them for their time.
2. Proof read. There is never any excuse for spelling, punctuation, or grammatical errors. A sloppy writer means a sloppy performer.
3. Professional. Please, please, don't list all the compliments anyone has ever given you. "My drama teacher says I'm an director's dream" will not help you land a role, and is really aggravating. They want to make their own impressions about you, not be told what everyone else thinks as if that means they should automatically think the same thing. Let them make their own judgments.
4. Presentable. Always typed, but never in all capitals. Use a nice, easy to read font on nice, standard-sized paper.
5. Informative. Make sure you always include name, address, and e-mail so they can contact you.
Don't know what to say?
 Tell them what your short-term goals are, but be specific. Don't say "I wanna be a star." Say, "I am especially interested in doing some more Shakespeare." This is especially helpful if the company actually produces Shakespeare plays frequently.
 Don't repeat your resume. They already have that.
 Remember that it doesn't have to be long and complicated. It's not a novel, just an introduction. Short and sweet is best. A casting director's time is very valuable.

930 Highland Ave.
State College, PA 16801
Nov. 15, 2000

Mr. Gerard Berger
Manager of Human Resources
Allen Investments Inc.
1023 Collins Ave.
Philadelphia, PA 19122

Dear Mr. Berger:

I am applying for the position of client account coordinator, which was advertised Aug. 4 with the career services center at The Pennsylvania State University. The position seems to fit very well with my education, experience, and career interests.

According to the advertisement, your position requires excellent communication skills, computer literacy, and a B.S. degree in business, economics, or finance. I will be graduating from Penn State University this month with a B.S. degree in finance. My studies have included courses in computer science, management information systems, speech communications, and business writing. I understand the position also requires a candidate who is team- and detail-oriented, works well under pressure, and is able to deal with people in departments throughout the firm. These are skills I developed both in my course work and in my recent internship at Hunter & Katchur Finance Inc. in Boalsburg, Pa.

My background and goals seem to match your requirements well. I am confident that I can perform the job effectively, and I am excited about the idea of working for a dynamic, nationally recognized investment management firm.

If you would like to schedule an interview or otherwise discuss my interest in this position, please call me at 814/555-2468. I will be available at your convenience.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Amy Sherwood
