The Resume and Cover Letter Module provides practical guidance, strategies, and tools to help you craft effective resumes and cover letters.

​As you begin, it's important to recognize  the limitations of these documents: no resume or cover letter can fully capture the depth of your experiences or the uniqueness you bring. This module is designed to help you navigate that challenge, supporting you in representing yourself clearly and authentically, while remaining mindful of the systemic biases that can influence job screening processes.

This module consists of seven short mini-modules, each taking approximately 5-10 minutes to complete:

  1. What is the Purpose of a Resume?
  2. Resume Structure and Format
  3. Identifying Your Skills to Build Your Resume
  4. Highlights of Qualifications
  5. What is an Accomplishment Statement?
  6. What is the Purpose of a Cover Letter?
  7. Know Your Rights

You can engage with the entire module or a specific section that interests you today.
