Before a hiring manager takes a look at a potential employee’s resume, it is the cover letter that he or she evaluates first. A badly written cover letter has the potential of destroying any chances for an interview. But a well-crafted cover letter can pique interest by showing the applicant’s intelligence, skills and desire to work for the company.

In a cover letter, an applicant has the opportunity to briefly discuss his or her qualifications for the job in question. This is the perfect time to note any major achievements related to the position. Any skills or education relating to the job description should be included. For instance, if one has experience as an office assistant and the job opening is for an office assistant, applicants should make sure the fact they worked as one before is mentioned. If applicants have never worked for an office before, a cover letter is a good place to write down any related experience, such as previous jobs in which experience with organization or use of office equipment occurred.

If at all possible, addressing the cover letter to a specific, appropriate person shows the company that the job-seeker has done his or her research and isn’t merely sending out the same canned letter to dozens of different places without a thought. Details about why exactly the applicant is qualified to work for that specific position is a plus. Also, when good grammar is used, the letter displays intelligence, a trait most companies are looking for.

By expressing a genuine enthusiasm and desire to work for a company in a cover letter, applicants increase their chances for moving to the next step. Potential employers want to hire people that might create a positive atmosphere, people who are willing to go the extra mile. In good cover letters, applicants can say they are excited about the possibility of giving their skills to that particular company.

A well-written cover letter shows potential employees that the job-seeker is serious about acquiring the position. The letter can be the very thing that opens the door for consideration and could lead to a request for a job interview.

Generally, you don't need to list references directly on the resume. You should prepare a list of references with the name, title, phone number and email of the person that you are listing as the reference. You will be asked to include the references on the application for employment. You can also prepare a separate sheet with this information. It is not necessary to use space on the resume to include: "References available upon request." It is obvious that you will provide them when asked so this statement may be omitted.

Resume objectives are very specific terms or keywords that can highlight your work experience. One great way to compose a resume objective is to mirror words or phrases that are included in the job posting you are responding to. Use action verbs, not passive vague terms.

Self-driven means that you are motivated to accomplish something without an external reward. For example, you may be self-driven to be the first person to arrive at work everyday even though it doesn't result in a raise or promotion.

In almost all cases, lying on your resume is grounds for immediate dismissal. In some cases, it is also illegal. So no, it's not okay. No, it's not okay. Even if you are hired, if they find out you lied, they can fire you on the spot and you can't receive unemployment or anything. Most employers will check your references, do a background criminal check and call your past employmers. They might also ask for your transcripts. * You cannot be dismissed for being less than truthful on a resume. You can be terminated if you falsify a job application. Be that as it may, honesty is the best choice. Not being truthful on a resume can result in the person not being capable of doing the job they were hired for and therefore being dismissed for lack of work skills, not for the actual misrepresentation in the resume.

Groups can meet career objectives easily. Making lists can be a useful tool in meeting career objectives. This is a way to set up goals, like setting a time for weekly meetings, meeting deadlines, and using time efficiently.

Keep it positive. Any strengths should be those that directly apply to the job (typing, writing, organizational skills, interpersonal skills). Keep "weakness" to things like "need to be a perfectionist" or that you procrastinate when it comes to filing (NO ONE LIKES FILING!) but that you've learned to overcome this by carving out a certain amount of time each morning to get filing done. Again, keep it positive. If you describe ANY weaknesses, also give an example of how you overcame it or how you plan to overcome it! ~ T

Your best customer service situation may have been an angry customer whose delivery went to the wrong place and they still didn't have what they ordered. You not only immediately corrected this, but you gave them a discount on their purchase and their future purchases. It was successful because it went over and beyond what would be expected to solve the problem.
