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

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

***tip : Get right to the point by stating the position you are applying for and where you saw the job advertisement.

***tip : Use education or experience to provide the reader with ①plenty of reasons to invite you to an interview.

***tip : ②Sum up the letter and ③dedicate the next step you expect to take.

***tip : Make it easy for the reader to ④follow-up by ⑤providing your contact information.

While writing both your resume and a cover letter, make sure there are no spelling mistakes. Do not add any ①exclamation marks in the letter, or include any ②slang. You don't have to make them long-one page is enough. Use ③stationary action verbs such as: accomplished, ④collaborated, encouraged, established, ⑤facilitated, founded, managed, etc. All of these will make you look more professional.

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