If you are a job seeker, probably you have noticed that in every job advert you are required to send a cover letter and resume if you want to apply for the job. Both of these “documents” present you to the employer, in terms of personality, education, experience, at the same time they provide some basic information about you and contact information.
Why employers ask for these things? It is because they always look for the resume that jumps out at them. They want to be impressed by your professional biography. When reading your biography, they want to “feel” that you are the perfect candidate for the job they offer. And, they want to “feel” this before they actually meet you.

So, if you are ready to get a job, let’s learn how to write killing resume and cover letter!
