Cover Letter Template Free

Every job seeker has a unique story.... You might be searching for job search ideas.
​
  • Perhaps you've been laid off, let go, or fired... Now what? 
  • Maybe you're looking for simple networking ideas to find a new job.
  • Chances are you are in the process of moving and are looking for relocation cover letter examples.

This post will offer you a cover letter teamplate free of charge to help you with either of the three situations above.

Sample networking cover letter after a layoff

Dear (Contact Name):

I am reaching out to you to ask for your help. As you know, my position was eliminated when Chandler-Roth Department Stores was acquired last month.

 
I am looking to stay in the retail industry and, ideally, remain in the Minneapolis area. My “perfect” job would be another associate manager position — one focused on operations or merchandising (or a combination of both) — in Minnesota or Wisconsin.
 
I would appreciate any advice, contacts, or industry insights you can share with me. I’ve attached my résumé — please feel free to pass it along to anyone you think may be interested in it. If you know of a company that is looking to grow its retail management staff — or fill any open position — please let me know. I’d also appreciate any recommendations of retail recruiters, or recruiters who work on placing management candidates in the Minneapolis area. (I’d prefer to stay in the retail industry, but would potentially consider a management opportunity in a new industry.)
 
Highlights of my qualifications include:
  • Success in delivering year-over-year same store growth — contributed to 12% growth in 2012 (well ahead of the industry average for non-food sales growth of 2.26%).
  • Introduction of innovative product merchandising and customer service programs that have increased average transaction size by 22%.
  • Led an employee engagement initiative which reduced turnover by 18% over a six-month period, reducing hiring costs by more than $22,000.
 
I’m lucky enough to count you as a (friend, colleague, client, co-worker) and I want to thank you (in advance) for any help you can give me.
 
Thanks.
 
Your name

Networking cover letter for a relocating jobseeker

Dear (Contact Name):

I recently relocated from California to Ohio. Consequently, I am looking for my next challenge! My focus is a management role drawing on more than 15 years of experience in manufacturing and production. I have enclosed my résumé, which outlines my qualifications.

 
I am asking my network — including you! — to help me identify possible employers that would value someone with my experience and skills. My work history emphasizes supervising production teams (up to 30 employees per shift), keeping manufacturing lines operating at peak capacity with a minimum of downtime, ensuring quality and regulatory compliance, and managing special projects.
 
If you know of someone I should contact to explore an opportunity, I’d appreciate the referral. You can reach me at (phone number) or email me at (email address).

Sincerely,
Your name 

Sample cover letters for networking and updating contacts about a job search

Dear (Contact Name):

Happy Spring! I wanted to drop you a note to give you an update on how things are going in my job search. Since leaving ABC Company in January, I completed two short-term contract projects, most recently with XYZ Company. I’ve applied for several full-time accounting positions, but have been finding things to be a bit slow. So now I’m turning to my friends-and-family network for your help!

 
I’ve enclosed an updated copy of my résumé in the hopes that you might be able to help me identify and/or make contact with a company or organization that might need someone with my skills and experience. While I’m most interested in a full-time position, I’m also open to a contract opportunity — particularly one that might lead to a full-time position.
 
If you know someone who might be interested in what I can do for them, would you mind passing along my résumé? And give me a call if you have any ideas for me, or if you want to catch up on things. You can reach me at home (phone) or on my cell (phone).
 
I appreciate your help!

Best regards,
Your name

Resume Update or Rewrite Checklist

Resume Update or Rewrite Checklist

When it comes to presenting your resume to prospective employers, you may have wondered whether or not you should update the content or just create a brand new document. It may be helpful to also review the content about what employers want to see in a resume.

This checklist will help you make a more informed decision about when to update and when to rewrite your resume.​
  • Evaluate how long ago it has been since your resume was created. If it was created in the last 18 months, update the existing document. If it was created more than five years ago, it’s probably time to start over with a fresh format.
  • Consider how long it has been since your resume was last updated. If it was updated within the last 12 months, a refresh is probably appropriate. If it’s been more than three years since your resume was last updated, consider an overhaul.
  • If you are seeking a new role in the same profession, you can probably refresh your existing resume. Is it a job change or career change? If you’re changing careers entirely, you will want to start fresh. Taking a career change quiz might be helpful.
  • If you have an “objective” statement at the top of your resume, you probably need to overhaul your résumé instead of just updating it.
  • If you’re using a functional format on your resume, consider starting with a fresh format, as the functional format may not be compatible with applicant tracking system (ATS) software.
  • If your existing resume has gotten too long, it may be time to start completely from scratch. (Sometimes it is harder to delete information than to reimagine everything from scratch.)
  • Have you been trying to update and maintain a professionally written resume by yourself? Especially for modern designs, the formatting may not be easy to update. Go back to the original writer for an update — or overhaul. If you have not worked with a resume writer before, looks for tips to help you make a decision on how to hire a resume writer.
  • Update your resume whenever you take on a new role (new job or promotion).
  • Update your resume whenever something significant happens — achieving a certification, adding new skills to your repertoire, or finishing a big project.
  • Review your resume a minimum of once a year. Evaluate your current roles and responsibilities, quantify your accomplishments, list new skills, and add in any new education, training, or volunteer activities.

Resume Writing Tips and Samples

​Are you in need of guidance around updating your resume and wondering about a resume update or resume rewrite? You may feel a bit rusty if you’re just getting back into the job search scene after spending years or even decades at the same place of employment. Or you could be someone who is returning to the workforce after a long-term stint as being a stay-at-home mom. You wonder how the career landscape has changed. Should you dust off your old copy of your resume? Or is it better to start from scratch?
​
Below find some great ideas for how to approach updating your resume to get on the fast track to making that strategic career move that’s right for you. For more resume writing tips and samples, please be sure to visit my job search blog.

STEP 1: Ask Yourself the Right Questions

What is my vision of the ideal career for me?
Before you do anything, it’s worth giving some thought to the type of work you’re looking for. The internet age brings many more options and directions to go in, as well as increasing competition. So ask yourself: what is my ultimate career goal?

You might start by visualizing the ideal work scenario for you. Do you hope to work for a progressive company that offers flex-time and work-from-home options? Is a part-time gig what you want? The best way to get what you’re hoping for in your new career is to put it out there and see if there’s a match.

The internet brings many more work opportunities that simply were not accessible in decades past because we didn’t have a way to connect or to work remotely. So if you have a career dream, don’t be afraid to get specific in describing it on your resume and cover letter. You can always decide later how much of a concession you’re willing to make based on other factors like salary, location, or an opportunity to break into a new field.

Am I ready for a leadership position?
Are you looking to advance into a leadership role? Perhaps you have acquired many years of experience in your field of expertise. This could be the perfect time to translate those lessons learned into a promotion with the paycheck to match.

One good question to ask: am I already functioning as a leader at my job? Often in a corporate environment, upper management begins to lean on more seasoned employees to carry out some fairly impressive responsibilities and thus drive production.  If the person who is unofficially “in charge” of a team or department does not speak up for that pay increase, chances are there won’t be a big incentive for upper management to move them forward. 

A good leader knows when it’s time to advocate for oneself. So begin by typing out a list of leader-type responsibilities that you’ve been entrusted with at your workplace. Are you in charge of scheduling, team building, and project management? Do underlings report to you? Have you spent a fair amount of your work experience training new employees? If so, then this list of accomplishments should fit nicely into its section of your resume. If you label it as “Leadership Roles” then bullet out the points, you’ll be giving your potential employer an easy way to zone right in on your capabilities as a manager or director of a team.

Of course, you may not feel ready to serve in a managerial capacity, and if that’s the case, then you’ll want to structure your resume accordingly. Instead of highlighting a “Leadership” area, you might instead bullet out a list of your career skills and strengths. Hiring managers want to get right to the meat, to see if the skills you offer will be a good fit for the role they’re looking to fill.
Some common questions to ask yourself in this case include:

What am I good at?
Maybe you’re someone who works cooperatively on a team. Perhaps analytical thinking is your strong suit. You might work best independently, or you could be a rapid producer. If you have trouble coming up with ways that you excel in your work, then do this. Imagine that you are your own boss. How would your supervisor be likely to list your strengths?
Some of your career strengths could be:
  • Team-oriented
  • Excellent attention to detail
  • Positive communicator
  • Works well under pressure
  • Organized and efficient
  • Big-picture thinker

There are many more possibilities if you’re looking to bullet out your strong points to get the attention of a hiring manager. If you’re still having trouble, head to Google and type in “resume samples” to get an immediate return of any number of resumes that can help you come up with a fresh description of you and what you do.

Does your experience translate to the digital world?
If you’re looking to compete in the current career market, then don’t forget to count your proficiency with the latest apps and gadgets. You might be one of the many small business owners who have taken on the role of online marketing manager for your company, or your family business. Don’t be shy about including this on your resume, and don’t take your skills for granted.

Sometimes it helps to talk with a friend or colleague who can ask the right questions that remind you of your unique skills. Maybe you manage an email newsletter online. Perhaps social media promotional campaigns and digital marketing has become something you’re good at, thanks to your real-world experience.

Even if you’ve been out of the “career world,” you should know that online skills are in high demand due to the nature of the online market. Many companies may be struggling to catch up in developing a website presence. Your skills that you learned by way of the “school of hard knocks” could just land you that new position you’ve been dreaming about along with the salary and benefits package you’ve been hoping for.

STEP 2: Self-Branding and Marketing

If you think about it, your resume is just an advertising tool designed to get you noticed by the right hiring manager or a business owner. So now that you’ve given a run-through to the more important questions like your vision of the perfect career and what your strengths and skills are; let’s talk about how to retool your resume to attract the right people who already want what you have in the way of career background and proficiency.
 
Begin with awareness of your future employer’s time or lack of. The longer it takes for the hiring manager to figure out what you’re good at and whether you’re a right fit for the position, the less likely they will be to contact you for an interview.
 
So get into the skimming frame of mind. Imagine that you are the person sorting through the pile of applicants. What types of things will help your resume stand out and offer easily-absorbed information:
 
Concise headings
In marketing, the headline does the heavy lifting to attract readers who will then want to know more. So use the available space to include headlines that speak directly to your future employer.
 
Keep it to one page. A resume that’s more than one page is more likely to be lost in the shuffle of a busy work day. So be brief, and try to keep things to a single page. You will have a chance to explain yourself in detail during the interview process. For now, choose the words that they want to hear most.
 
Short paragraphs. There may be a temptation to include lots of detail on your resume, especially if you've acquired a lot of experience and years in your field.
 
Brief, bulleted points
If at all possible, bullet out your ideas on one line apiece. So, if you’re conveying a series of steps that you completed for a long-term project, then be sure to go back and shorten the text to be as succinct as possible. It may help to consider a resume and cover letter checklist.
 
Give your resume a spin
Generic is boring, and these days you’re competing with the entire world. So don’t be afraid to be bold with your resume. Learn how to make your resume stand out. Think about the type of career that would get you excited to wake up to a new day on the job. Do you hope to work for a more progressive company? Then how about tucking in a phrase like “Forward-thinking” in your career objective. Values are also important nowadays. If you have specific beliefs such as equality, being kind to the planet, supporting working families, wellness in the workplace environment, or any other type of currently trending words that will pique interest, include these as part of your objective or as one of your strengths.
 
If you have a lot of room on your resume or perhaps on your cover letter, you might even offer a brief “ideal career wish list” that could get hiring heads turning in your direction. But if this is too radical for you, that’s okay too.

When it comes to personal branding and self promotion, alwyas keep in mind that your approach to landing the ideal job will depend on whether the type of worker and person you are is a match for the company that will hire you.

STEP 3: Outline Your Career History

The approach that you take in the “career history” section of your resume will depend on what you’re trying to accomplish. If you’re a person who just wants “a job” and to get back into the workforce, then you may not have a strong vision of what you’ll be doing and that’s okay.
 
If that’s the case for you, it may work best if you take a more generic approach and include as many details as you can in your Career History. Then, as opportunities present themselves or your career vision becomes clearer, you can update your resume as needed. Or, you may just decide to emphasize that you’ve had a varied career experience over the years. This could be the exact type of flexible employee that someone out there is looking for.
 
It’s also perfectly acceptable to have multiple resumes for multiple purposes. You might decide, for example, if you’re looking for either a Real Estate Sales role OR a Catering Chef, that these are two decidedly different career choices, each in need of its own resume development. Your career history can be different for each of these resumes. Simply select the one that applies, as any job opportunities make themselves known.
 
Take a few minutes to run through companies, locations, and dates. In the Career History section, you’re generally expected to make a list of the company, city, state, and dates that you were employed at said location.
 
If you don’t know the exact dates, or if you’re someone who has had many years of experience in the workforce and is now emphasizing leadership capabilities, then you may not need to flesh out the exact months that you worked for one employer or another. The important part is to give the person reviewing your resume a general idea of your career path and the impact of your leadership.
 
Q: What if you owned your own business but are looking to return to working for someone else?
More and more people are trying their hand at a remote career, owning a small business, or working part-time for multiple places of business. You may have been off the radar for a while due to a situation like this. So you might be wondering what to put on your resume in this case.
 
The short answer to this is that if your personal experience or your role as a small business owner wearing many hats has gifted you skills that make you an asset to a corporate or small company’s work environment, then by all means organize this information in a way that presents you in a rightfully positive light.
 
If you have trouble with this, just imagine that you are your own boss. What marketable skills would you describe yourself as having? Indeed, being in the trenches of small business or online business ownership may have bestowed you with some incredibly sought-after strengths that now translate well into other environments or businesses. 

STEP 4: Are You Digitally Proficient?

​Now more than ever, hiring managers want to hire people who are comfortable using the latest technology, including operating systems, software, apps, and tools that the majority of users are proficient and comfortable with.
 
So, to assess your digital communication skills, think about all of the tech knowledge you have acquired, both in your job and in your endeavors. It could be customer account management, document creation, photo/video editing, email list management, or any other number of programs. This is a very important differentiator between you and your competition in the job marketplace. Digital proficiency even could mean a jump in salary for you.
 
Even if you feel like your knowledge is basic, that still could put you ahead of another contender. So DO spend some time running through your tech proficiency and listing everything.
STEP 5: Organize the Details of Your Resume
​Okay; you’ve done your career outlining homework. You should now have a clear picture of the type of job you want, the role within an organization that you hope to play, the type of company that would perfectly match your ideals, values, and goals, your strengths and proficiencies, and your career history. You’re ready to craft your resume and condense all of this information to one page, if possible.
 
Choose a design
It will be beneficial to browse through resume samples. The style and size of your fonts, and the placement of text, will depend on the industry you’re looking to get a job in. A Real Estate Agent’s resume might have a different look and feel than a nurse resume example.
 
Type out your sections
Now that everything is coming together, you’ll need a template to work in. You can either search for a plug-and-play resume template online, or you can type out everything in a list format to be styled later.
 
Typical (but always optional) sections of your resume may include:

  • HEADER – name, title, address, contact info such as email/phone, URL if you have a blog or website
  • CAREER PROFILE
  • CAREER HISTORY
  • QUALIFICATIONS LIST (including your Technical Skills)
  • EDUCATION
  • AWARDS/ACCOLADES/CONTRIBUTIONS
 
The order of topics listed above can vary depending on where you are in your career. For example, a receny graduate is more likely to list his/her Education before Career History.

Now that your resume is fleshed out, your next step might be to run it by a trusted colleague or friend who can give you their honest assessment of the information. Ask them their opinion on the following:

  • Is it eye-catching?
  • Is the information easy to read and understand?
  • Will this impress someone in your chosen field?
  • What is the overall impression of your competence?
  • Did they spot any errors or inconsistencies?
 
After the review of your resume, you can update the information as suggested, if you like. You can also search for similar resumes of people in your field, to make a comparison.
 
Give your resume a final once-over, paying special attention to little things like misspellings, capitalizations, consistent use of punctuation, and special type treatments, such as bold or italic text.
 
When you’re happy with how your resume looks and reads, print it out and go over it again. Have another person proofread. Be sure that your contact information is correct!
 
When you’re happy with the final outcome, you’re all set. Now it’s time to show off your career proficiency to the world, and land that job you’ve been dreaming of.

Customize your Resume

Take the time to customize your resume — it demonstrates your interest in a job and shows you have taken the time to tailor the resume to the role being sought.

  • Make sure your resume demonstrates alignment between what the employer is looking for in their next hire, and the exact skills, experience, and education you have to offer.
  • Customize your resume so you are more likely to be selected for an interview. Even if the company doesn’t use ATS software, customized resumes are more appealing to human readers. Moreover, it makes it much easier for you to sell yourself in the interview.
  • Edit the resume (and cover letter) to help your documents successfully get through ATS software and into the hands of the recruiter or hiring manager.
  • Prioritize quality over quantity. Instead of sending the same resume to apply for 50 jobs, take the time to research and customize your resume for 10-15 roles. Find the right recruiters and communicate with them.
  • The easiest change to customize the resume for the position you want is to include the desired job title and company name at the top of the resume.
  • Be sure to customize and prepare a Summary section. Find examples of Professional Summary on a resume. For human readers, this is often the first section they read. You want to ensure the skills and experience most desired by the prospective employer are highlighted in the top one-third of the resume.
  • Take a few minutes to make sure the job responsibilities listed in your resume match the needs of the employer, especially those outlined in the job posting. Learn how to quantify your accomplishments.
  • Re-order accomplishment bullets to prioritize achievements related to the job being targeted.
  • When possible, have the job posting in front of you so you can customize the resume to the job description. Identify the problems this job is designed to solve and help the prospective employer see how you can help them solve these specific problems.
  • Analyze the job posting and identify the keywords and phrases used in the job description. Edit your resume. Make a list of key skills, job requirements, and responsibilities desired. Note the qualifications you already possess that are mentioned in the job posting.
  • Be sure to incorporate keywords in the Summary, Skills, and Experience sections of your resume. Keywords can also be used in the Education, Training, and Affiliations sections.
  • As important as it is to include targeted information, it’s just as important to remove irrelevant information. Remove information that is not relevant — any education, experience, training, or affiliations that are not relevant to this job.
  • Rearrange sections of the resume, if necessary, to match the priorities established in the job posting.
  • Review the company website and/or LinkedIn company page to gain insight into the company’s values, mission, and culture. What values do they highlight? Identify specific keywords that indicate cultural fit. When customizing the resume, give specific instances of these values, such as: teamwork, communication, initiative, honesty, etc.

Edit My Resume

Edit My Resume

In my experience, almost every prospective client begins our conversation by saying: Please help me edit my resume. It only goes to say that almost everyone knows that a well-written and nicely presented resume can do wonders for your job search. So, before you send yours out, follow this checklist to ensure you are sending out a better quality representation of yourself.

And if you're interested in hiring a resume writer to have your current resume "re-written", you an always start here.

Capitalization

Use a manual such as The Gregg Reference Manual if you do not know the capitalization rules.

Grammar, Spelling, Punctuation

Use the grammar and spell check function, then print it out and read the document word for word. Spell checker doesn’t know that you meant "manager" when you actually typed "manger."

​Check for proper use of commas and semi-colons. Again, if you are unsure, refer to the Gregg Reference Manual.

Run-on Sentences

Check to make sure you do not have run-ons that are hard to read.

Consistency

You must be consistent with your number usage (dates, money, numbers), plurals, and abbreviations. For example, don’t list one date as 8/2020 and then list another date as 3/15/2019. Also, be aware of listing software consistently (abbreviation use). MS Word and Microsoft Outlook are both correct, but not consistent.
Education Section
When you have a degree, list only the year that you obtained your degree. When you list your dates, (i.e.: 9/2012 to 6/2015) many resume-scanning systems will not recognize that you obtained a degree, only that you attended college for a period of time
Ampersands, Pronouns, Numbers
Ampersands (&) - Ampersnds (&) DO NOT belong on a resume. There are a few exceptions. One exception is a well-known company name (AT&T). Another exception is well-known industry terms (P&L).

Pronouns - Pronouns are not allowed on a resume. As a rule 101 in resume-writing, the use of any pronouns on a conservative resume is not allowed (i.e.: Me, I, mine, my, you, your, yours, us, our, ours, them, their, theirs, he, him, his, she, her, hers.) For example, it is not advised to write sentences such as: “Helped clients with their projects” or “Supported the client to meet his objectives” or “Our aim was to support our clients’ vision”. 

Numbers - Spelling one-digit numbers vs two-digit numbers (or more) - Another rule in resume writing is to spell out one-digit numbers, but we type them as numbers when there are two digits or more.

Resume Update OR Resume Rewrite?

Resume Update OR Resume Rewrite?

Resume Update OR Resume Rewrite?

​When you already have a resume, at a certain point you’re faced with a dilemma: Should I update my existing resume, or is it time to completely reinvent it?
 
This guide is designed to help you decide when it’s time to update — and when it’s time to rewrite it entirely.
 
When you’ve got a great resume — especially one created by a professional resume writer — it can be difficult to decide to throw it out and start over again. But even the best formats can become outdated as technology changes. And what worked in one profession may not be appropriate in another. 

So, how do we know when is the right time for resume update or resume rewrite?

When To Update and When To Rewrite Your Resume

Here are some questions to help you decide:
 
How long ago was your resume created?
  • If your resume was created within the last year to 18 months, and you’re seeking a similar role to your current position, the answer is easy: Update your existing document.
  • If the resume was created 18 months ago up to 3 years ago, and you’re seeking a similar role, the right answer is probably to update the existing resume.
  • The more difficult choice is if the resume was created between 3-5 years ago. In that case, examine the resume format. If the structure is still modern in appearance, and adding the new information doesn’t substantially affect the format, a refresh is most likely the right choice.
  • If the resume was created more than five years ago, 99 times out of 100, the right answer is to start over. Trends change — for example, the use of color on resumes, or removing physical addresses. Neither of those things alone makes a document look outdated, but a fresh format can make the resume even more effective.
 
How long ago was your resume last updated?
  • If your resume was updated in the last 12 months, another update is probably appropriate. There probably isn’t a whole lot that has changed in terms of format or technology.
  • Has it been up to three years since your most recent update? The answer whether to update or rewrite will depend. Like with a new resume, consider whether the format is still relevant and whether the new content you’re adding will fit into the existing structure.
  • If it’s been more than three years since your resume was last updated, consider an overhaul. A resume that was created three years ago will often be substantially more modern in content and appearance than one that was simply updated three years ago. Thus, rewriting is probably the right approach.
 
Are you seeking a new role in the same profession, or are you changing professions?
  • If you are pursuing a new role in a different field, whether to update or rewrite depends on if the industry you are targeting has different standards for resumes than your current industry. If you are a sales representative for a creative company (a children’s toy manufacturer, for example) and you’re pursuing a sales representative position in the financial services industry, you may want to take a fresh approach to your resume’s format and appearance. If, however, you’re an accountant for a large school district and you’re seeking an accounting position for a midsize private company, you may be able to keep the same content and format.
  • If you are changing careers entirely, you will want to rewrite. You can’t use the same resume for substantially different positions. If you’re a teacher and you want to pursue a role in outside sales, your education-focused resume probably won’t work. If you’re a former trial lawyer who is seeking a role in nonprofit administration, you’ll want a new format that showcases your transferable skills.
  • There’s a middle ground. If you’re pursuing a similar career, but not exactly, you may be able to retarget your existing resume without starting entirely from scratch. In this situation, rely on your resume writer to guide you to the right path.
 
Is there an “Objective” statement at the top of your resume?
  • If the answer is yes, you need an overhaul. Even removing the objective statement probably won’t be enough to meet the standards of a modern resume, since the content in the top 1/3 of the resume is so critical. (It needs to be replaced with branding statements and content that showcases your qualifications.)
 
Is your resume font Times New Roman – or does the resume have Comic Sans anywhere on it?
  • While both of these might indicate a “dated” look, the answer may be as simple as selecting all the text and choosing a more modern body font (Calibri, Tahoma). But having one of these fonts on your resume may also be a sign that the whole document needs a fresh approach.
  • Font choice can be a sign that your resume may need an overhaul. Dated fonts may be a symptom that you need to do more than simply selecting new fonts.
 
Are you using a functional resume format?
  • Functional resumes — which use a format that focuses more on skills than on chronological work experience — have lost favor in recent years because they are not often compatible with how applicant tracking systems (ATS) parse (or organize) data. Because the format often omits employment dates — and may not even list specific jobs or employers — the resume data may not populate the fields correctly in some ATS software. In addition, many recruiters and hiring managers don’t like functional formats.
  • Even a chrono-functional, hybrid, or combination format may not work with some ATS software. But more important, a resume using one of these formats may be deemed to be “out of date” or “not modern.” There are more appropriate ways to highlight skills and accomplishments even when the work history may not be very appealing in a strictly chronological sense.
 
Has your existing resume gotten too long?
  • Resume length isn’t cut-and-dry. Resumes in some professions run 3-4 pages on the low end. But if your resume is three pages because it includes 25 years of work experience in excruciating detail, it may be time to start completely from scratch. The reason is: If you’ve just constantly added new positions without thinking through the strategy of what you’re including on your resume, it may be best to reinvent it.
 
Does your resume have an “out-of-balance” or “outdated” appearance?
  • This is common if you had your resume professionally written and designed, but you’ve since tried to keep it up to date yourself. Especially for beautiful, modern designs, it can be difficult to add information without affecting the formatting. In this case, you may only need a simple update, but you should probably return to the original creator to ensure that the integrity of the content and formatting remain intact.

How often should you update your resume?

Here are some guidelines:
  • Anytime you take on a new role (new job or promotion), update your resume. (You may wait 30-90 days to add it to make sure that the position is a good fit and you’re going to stay in the role, but three months is usually a sufficient time to make that decision.)
  • You should review your resume at a minimum at least once a year. Evaluate your current roles and responsibilities, update any accomplishments, list new skills, and add in any new education, training, or volunteer activities.
  • Update the resume when something significant happens — even if it’s only been a few months since your last update. That could be completing a certification, adding a new skill to your repertoire, or finishing a big project. Add information while it’s fresh in your mind so you don’t forget to include all the important details.
  • When you’re laid off or fired, you’ll need to include the ending date of your last position on your resume. You can take advantage of a very short window (30 days or less) to apply for roles while your current position still says it is “to present,” but much beyond that could turn off prospective hiring managers when they learn you’re currently out of work and you didn’t update your resume accordingly.
  • If you’re ready for something new, and if you want to stand out in your field,  having a fresh, modern resume ready to go is important. You never know when the right opportunity might open up and if you don’t have a resume ready, you might miss out on it.
 
When in doubt about anything related to your resume or job search, ask your professional resume writer! Career industry professionals stay up to date about trends in resumes and hiring technology and will be able to advise you about the best solution for your specific needs.

How To Quantify Results on Your Resume When Your Job Isn't Big on Numbers

How To Quantify Results on Your Resume When Your Job Isn't Big on Numbers

​“Quantify your achievements” is one of the most common resume writing tips you’ll hear. Sure, adding numbers in your resume bullet points makes it stand out and it helps recruiters imagine the impact you’ve made at your previous job. But this is easier said than done, especially for roles with no easily measured achievements or tasks. 
 
It helps to learn how to customize your resume. Here’s where a little creativity goes a long way. To quantify your accomplishments, you have to look beyond the obvious when you think of measurable tasks and the numbers you associate with them.

Write it All Down

​Ask your supervisor about your job’s performance metrics even those not directly tied to your output. Check your annual performance reviews as well because it might have quantifiable information about your job. If you can’t dig up anything, that’s okay. It’s just going to take a bit of elbow grease but there are still plenty of ways to add numbers to your resume.
 
To customize your resume, start with a list of all your responsibilities, skills, and achievements. Write everything you can think of even the ones you obviously can’t quantify. That might change later and you might be surprised how that one task could be rephrased to present your value as a candidate.
 
Now imagine you’re a recruiter browsing resumes, what qualifications would impress you enough to invite a job seeker for an interview? Highlight those qualifications on your list.
 
Below are example skills and duties for three positions with no obvious quantifiable achievements:
  1. Nursing: Supervise nursing aides, monitor patient medication intake, work for the Labor and Delivery unit (L&D)
  2. IT OR Programming: Responding to Help Desk requests, install new software, monitor database and security systems, debug programs, create a new app for budgeting
  3. Administrative roles: Direct calls from the company trunkline, make travel arrangements for CEO, maintain records for petty cash, organize filing system
  4. Creatives: (such as writers and video editors) Write ad copy for brochures, design logos, collaborate with clients and executive team to conceptualize designs for product launch

Brainstorm Creative Ways To Quantify Your Work

You should now have a pretty long list of skills, achievements, and responsibilities. Continuing from the example above, ask yourself the following questions to brainstorm ways to quantify your tasks:

  • Nursing: How many beds or patients are included in your rounds? How many patients does your department or unit usually handle per shift? How many medical billing and coding languages are you familiar with? How many aides or nurses do you supervise? How many have you trained? How many surgery patients do you assist with per week or month? How long have you worked in your department or unit?
  • IT or Programming: How many servers, networks, or databases do you manage? How many users are there for each server? On average, how many support tickets do you process daily? How many workstations are you responsible for in terms of maintenance and upgrades? What is the average turn-around time for your coding projects? How much is the biggest project you’ve ever handled?
  • Administrative roles: In your past role, how many executives or officers relied on you for travel plans, calendar management, and other administrative tasks? How much was entrusted to you for arranging travel plans and other company events? If you help coordinate events, what’s the average number of attendees? How long are these events? How many vendors or suppliers do you work with? Have you ever done something that directly resulted in time or money saved? How many new hires have you trained in using your employer’s in-house software? How many orders—or any type of important paperwork—do you process on a daily or monthly basis? If you maintain the company’s social media account, how many followers do you have?
  • Creatives: How many designs or articles can you finish per week? How many clients do you work with regularly? How much was the biggest design or creative budget you handled? How much engagement did your most popular article or video get online?
 
These are just some of the questions you can ask but the concept applies to all industries. The key here is to keep an open mind. Take a long hard look at your list, then try to see if any of the following measurements might apply:

  • Budget allotted
  • Can the task be measured in terms of time, size, duration, scope, or frequency?
  • Time or money saved or earned
  • Can I estimate how often it occurs on a weekly or monthly basis?
  • How many people are involved?

Combine Tasks with Numbers and Results for Amazing Bullet Points

​It might be hard to imagine how the questions and the tasks you listed could translate to anything worth including in your resume. That’s because you’re missing one ingredient: the result.
 
How does your task benefit your employer or co-workers? And if a direct benefit can’t be established, how does that task signify the importance and complexity of your role? The examples below will show you how.

2 Strategies for Writing Accomplishment-Oriented and Quantified Bullet Points


1. If you’re unsure of the exact numbers involved
Ask your supervisor or co-workers to estimate the impact of your work, then make it clear in your bullet point that you’re only providing an estimate.
 
Before: Manage product supply ordering procedure.
After: Streamlined inventory purchase procedure to decrease projected surplus by 15%.
 
By adding the word “projected” you’re making it clear that the 15% decrease is just an estimate, but the improved bullet point still feels tangible and shows the impact of your work.
 
Your work may involve a varying number of people, but you could still show recruiters how many depend on you by using a range instead of an exact number.
 
Before: Assisted undergraduate students with thesis-related projects
After: Assisted 15 to 20 undergraduate students with thesis-related projects
 
2. Establish Productivity Rate and Impact Using Frequency
Repetitive tasks, even those with no direct relation to the bottom line, show how much work you can handle. Don’t let those tasks go to waste, add a frequency to quantify them so recruiters can see how hardworking you are!
 
Before: Manage company trunkline.
After: Manage company trunkline connected to 5 different departments, receiving an average of 250 calls a day.
 
Before: Read and graded essays of grade 8 English students.
After: Read and graded essays of grade 8 English students for 5 classes, or about 250 students.

Resume Tips for Seasonal Jobs

The holiday season is here and many people start wondering if it’s appropriate to include temporary and seasonal work experience in their resume. This question can be relevant to you whether you’re a recent graduate, unemployed or a college student.
 
There is nothing wrong with taking a freelance, temporary, or seasonal job until you get full-time employment in your field. In fact, this is the best way to gain experience, close gaps in employment, and earn extra cash. Keeping your resume fresh will not only help you to embark on temporary jobs but new careers as well.
 
You need to tailor your resume to meet the requirements of companies that are hiring seasonal employees. Below are the tips that will help you write a good resume for seasonal employment.
  • Resume presentation - Never give out a folded or rumpled resume letter. Submit a clean copy that is presentable. You can print it out using white or ivory resume paper on a laser printer.

  • Stick to the design - It’s important to maintain the standard design format when writing your resume. Use a standard font.  Use bullet points to help you break up long paragraphs. Avoid using pictures or graphs.
 
  • Indicate your work experience - Please list all types of employment and experience that are relevant to the job you are applying for. And remember that any work experience can help you secure that seasonal job.
 
  • Be specific - When you want to list the positions you have held in your previous seasonal work experience, be descriptive. A good example is the case of “customer service” where you can use this format: "customer relations and quality assurance." If you claim that you exceeded expectations in your department, you should be specific even with the numbers.
 
  • Point out your skills - You need to tie your skills gained from your previous seasonal work and how these skills will help your future employer.
 
  • Be positive - Avoid highlighting negative issues about your previous employers. You might have issues with your past jobs, but it’s important to mention the positive n your resume. Positive attitude will help you to snag that position.
 
  • Be honest - Avoid any temptation to inflate your set of skills or even embellish your working history. You should not risk your credibility. If you don’t have any formal work experience, you can include your volunteer work experience or summer jobs experience.
 
  • Update your resume regularly - Review your resume regularly. You want to find out how to make your resume stand out.  This will give you the chance to add any new information such as awards and training programs.
 
  • Make sure your information is relevant - For most employers, it is unnecessary to list all he details of some jobs that you held more than 15 years ago. Information related to your religion, family and political leanings should not have a place in your resume either. Avoid including outside interests.
 
  • Make sure you read your resume - It’s very important to proof-read your resume and if possible get your trusted colleague to review it.
Landing a seasonal job is definitely an adventure, but it is not impossible. When looking for a temporary work it is important to include the experience you have in the field you are applying for. This is because most employers do not want to train candidates most of the time. The earlier you prepare your resume, the better for you, so that you can submit it once the jobs are advertised.

​Should I Put My Vaccination Status on My Resume?

Should I Put My Vaccination Status On My Resume?

​​Should I Put My Vaccination Status on My Resume?

Fully Vaccinated for COVID-19

Should you include that information on your resume?

​
I have recently seen many polls on LinkedIn about including one's vaccination status on the resume. It seems as though the reactions are varying with time. In the meantime, my clients have been asking me about whether or not medical information (i.e.: vaccination status) must be included or listed on their job search documents. At this point, there aren't any solid Yes or No answers that would apply to all situations like a regulation. Today, it still depends on each job's requirements.

Mandatory Vaccine

The Biden administration announced a new rule from the Department of Labor on September 9, 2021 that will require all companies with 100 or more employees to ensure each worker is fully vaccinated or can show a negative COVID-19 test at least once a week. The standard, which will be enforced by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), will affect approximately 80 million workers.
 
Requiring employees to be vaccinated as a condition of employment is legal. Many large employers — including Disney, Tyson Foods, and United Airlines — already require employees to be vaccinated.
 
When you log into Indeed, you will note changes. For example, the number of job postings on the site requiring vaccination against COVID-19 has increased by 34 percent at the end of the first week of August 2021 compared to one month prior. Job postings requiring vaccination were up 90 percent over the same time period.
 
According to a survey conducted by ResumeBuilder.com in August 2021, 33 percent of hiring managers will automatically eliminate résumés that do not include vaccination status. And 69 percent of the 1250 hiring managers surveyed say they are more likely to favor candidates who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
 
ResumeBuilder.com also reports that 63 percent of companies surveyed are mandating vaccinations for employees as of August 2021. Another 32 percent will give priority to candidates that list they are vaccinated on their resume.
 
Seventy-seven percent of hiring managers surveyed say they prefer applicants include vaccination status on their resumes.
 
As with any information you include — or exclude — on your resume carefully consider whether the information is relevant (in this case, it would be if vaccination status is requested in the job posting) and whether including the information (if not requested), might disqualify you from consideration. (Some recruiters or hiring managers may be turned off by the disclosure.)

General Guidelines About Disclosing Vaccination Status On Your Resume

  • ​DEFINITELY YES — Disclose you are vaccinated against COVID-19 if vaccination is listed as a requirement in the job posting you’re applying for.

  • PROBABLY YES — Disclose vaccination status for certain roles — especially in the medical field or public health or for positions with progressive companies that have been publicly supportive of vaccine mandates. Consider including it for tech and financial positions where in-person/in-office attendance is required.

  • PROBABLY NO — If you are not vaccinated for COVID-19, it’s best to leave vaccination status off your resume, cover letter, or LinkedIn profile and address it in a job interview instead (if asked). If you disclose you are not vaccinated for COVID-19, that could be a negative to some hiring managers and recruiters.
 
Don’t want to include your vaccination status on the resume itself? You can list your vaccination status in the cover letter — although, be aware that some recruiters and hiring managers do not read cover letters.
 
Immunization records are protected health information under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). However, you are always free to disclose your own medical information voluntarily.
 
No matter whether you disclose your vaccination status on your resume or not, this may be part of a background check conducted after a job offer is extended, in the same way a drug screening may be required.
