not updated your resume in a while - or you are looking for information about other types of

Cover Letter Resources to get you started. Your cover letter is a key marketing tool
and you need to be sure that you are writing a dynamic cover letter that attracts the interest
of potential employers. Learn more about writing a dynamic cover letter by checking out

Obtain critiques of your resume and cover letters from members of your network. Because
the evaluation of resumes and cover letters are so subjective, your best bet is to show your drafts
to as many people as possible -- family, professors, career experts, former employers, etc. -- and
ask for their feedback.
Post your resume on the Internet (see step #7): there are just so many opportunities
to have your resume seen that you should at least take advantage of some of these resources.
Consider developing a career portfolio. A portfolio of your work and credentials --
whether in the traditional printed form or published on a Website -- shows prospective employers
prrof of your work and lends credibility to your resume. Read more abour portfolios in this
