resume cv cover letter
whats a resume/CV? cover letter?
i know the question sounds silly, but im starting some part-time work at uni and ive been asked to send a resume and cover letter to the potential employer and i have no idea where to start! ive never had a job before this so this is my first time writing it. what exactly do u include in each? and any tips etc? thanks!
A Resume and CV (Curriculum Vitae) are both documents explaining what job experience you have, and where you got the job experience from. A Resume, however, is generally not quite as lengthy as a CV. A Resume would more likely be 2 - 3 pages, whereas a CV would be maybe 5 pages or more.
Both documents would also list Personal information about yourself (name, age, cell phone number, etc) and most likely have a very brief list of hobbies. There should also of course be some indication of what Education you have, and - at the end of the document - you should list References that you might have from previous employment.
A Cover Letter is a brief letter explaining something, and not necessarily used with a CV or Resume at all... eg: a cover letter for a Book you've written might say who you are, what you've written before, what you'd like to write, etc.
But to sum up, both a Resume and CV should have these following things at least...
1 Personal Info
2 Hobbies/Interests
3 Education Details
4 work Experience
5 References
If none of this helps though, do a google search for "Resume Template Download" or something like that.
