Excerpt
Excerpt: You have skills that employers want. But those skills won?t get you a job if no one knows you have them. Good resumes, applications, and cover letters broadcast your abilities. They tell employers how your qualifications match a job?s responsibilities. If these paper preliminaries are constructed well, you have a better chance of landing interviews?and, eventually, a job. Modern technology has added a new twist to preparing resumes and cover letters. The availability of personal computers and laser printers has raised employers? expectations of the quality of resumes and cover letters applicants produce. Electronic mail, Internet postings, and software that ?reads? resumes help some employers sort and track hundreds of resumes. Technology has also given resume writers greater flexibility; page limits and formatting standards are no longer as rigid as they were several years ago. ?The only rule is that there are no rules,? says Frank Fox, executive director of the Professional Association of Resume Writers.
