I found this particular site after I did a search on how to write resumes and cover letters through Google.com.

This site offered ample information on how to write and design resumes and cover letters. The link for: Finding the Right Keywords to Get Your Resume Noticed, provided crucial information on how to use the job listing that has been posted by a company to your advantage and to look for keywords within that listing that you can use within your cover letter. It also suggested using action verbs as a way to show your audience the jobs you have done or are currently doing in a positive and confident way.

I feel that I will use these strategies within my job application packet because I think they are valid points that will make my cover letter and resume sound more professional.

I found this particular site after I did a search on writing resumes through Google.com.

This site offered information that I thought would be useful to me as I began formulating a resume for my job application packet. This site pin-pointed suggestions on how important it is to keep your resume simple and not to get into to much detail about yourself to where you can make your audience become uninterested and bored with what you are writing. It also suggests that it is important that you have other people proof-read your work to enhance your resume and make it the best that it can be.

I feel that I will use these key points within my own resume so I can make it interesting to my audience as well as bettering my chances of getting an interview by the audience who is doing the hiring.
