If you are looking for a job, the first thing you should do before you ①apply is ②to make sure that your resume and your cover letter are ready and up-to-date. A resume lists all the things ③that you have done or achieved in your career so far. A cover letter, ④on the other hand, explains ⑤why do you have all the skills you need to land the job.

①Writing a resume in English can be very different than in Korean. The most important step ②in writing your resume ③is taking the time to prepare your materials ④thorough. Taking notes on your education and accomplishments, career-related experience, and skills will ensure ⑤that you can shape your resume to a wide variety of professional opportunities. Here's a sample resume and some tips.

①While writing both your resume and a cover letter, ②make sure there are no spelling mistakes. Do not add any exclamation marks in the letter, or include any slang.

Employers may look for a resume and cover letter which ①are individualized and thoughtfully written. They see them ②as a way ③to screen out applicants who are not ④sufficient interested in their position, or who lack the necessary basic skills. Make your resume ⑤special and professional. Remember, the most important thing is to impress your future boss or manager and to attract their curiosity.
