Resume, Cover Letter & Reference Page
When you apply for a job, you will typically need three key documents: your resume,
cover letter, and reference page.

and potential. The Career Development approach to resume writing includes a specific focus on your
experiences because your experiences are what make you unique. We use a very specific
and effective resume development method. Cover Letter Cover Letter outlines why you are applying for a specific position, a brief overview
of your professional background and what makes you qualified for the job. Reference Page Professional Reference Page is a list of individuals who can vouch for your skills
and work style. Employers may ask you to submit during the hiring process. Use professional
references (employers, instructors, mentors) unless employer has indicated personal
references are acceptable.
