What are some good examples of a resume and a cover lettter?
Question by Jessica Sandoval: What are some good examples of a resume and a cover lettter?
I’m applying for some student employment opportunities at the college i will be attending in the fall and many of them ask for a resume and a cover letter. Can anyone show me some good examples that are easy to follow.
Also, I am going to be a freshman and I only have two previous employers and several community service experiences.

On a plain piece of paper, put your name at the top. Then one section (paragraph) about your education. Then one section about your job experience (the title of your position and your length of employment). Then one section with references who know you (job references are best but anyone can be your reference). Then your contact information. That is all you need. Sometimes the best resumes are the shortest. They will learn all they need to know at your interview.
The cover letter is like an introduction. More personal than the resume. Maybe saying what job you are interested in or how you found out about the company. It is not needed for most young people.

A student resume is mainly used by individuals recently out of school and seeking a job. The resume is not as detailed as other resumes but follows the same rules used in creating other resumes. It should highlight achievements such as projects extra-curricular activities and any summer jobs that the applicant has had. The applicant should include soft skills that they possess which are required in all professional jobs.
