The average resume is written out of necessity. Everyone knows you have to get a job.
Your resume is like your personal movie trailer. You want your resume to capture your employer's interest, so they'll want to learn more about you.
An effective resume will quickly highlight who you are, where you can be reached, and information about your most recent educational or training experiences. To make writing your resume as painless as possible, assemble the following information before you begin:

·Personal information such as name, address, phone, and e-mail address

·Current job objective

·Education and training

·Work experience, including duties and dates of employment

·Accomplishments (particularly as they relate to work experience)

·Specific skills and abilities

·Information about software knowledge or machinery you can operate

·References if possible.
Last but not least, do remember to proofread it! We can't over-emphasize the need to proofread your resume--and better yet, have someone else proofread it for you, Give them to your English teacher or guidance counselor and have them look it over. Two sets of eyes are better than one--your proofreader may catch mistakes that you missed, but an employer won't miss. Resumes with grammar mistakes, misspellings or uneven margins often get tossed.

Some Skills about Cover Letter

http://www.seas.virginia.edu/admin/careerdev/files/coverletters.pdf



1.When writing your cover letter,keep in mind that the reviewer is  only interested in one thing: the facts. Do not think  of your cover letter as an autobiography: it should be brief and to the point. The purpose of the cover letter should be one thing-it should demonstrate that you meet or exceed the requirements listed in the job description. It should demonstrate that you are interested in the position,and that you are available to accept the position if offer.
2.When writing the cover letter, avoid negatives.These "negatives" are best delivered in person during the interview so that your personality can counter them.
3.Try to avoid a salary history in the cover letter.
4.Spend time thinking about the layout of your letter, and make sure that it's easy on the eyes.It should be easy to scan the letter, and have a logical progression.

You Major In What?

The "you majored in what?" provides a fresh, detailed approach to career research.The Butterfly Effect describes the new though of our job research.I never though about my future job will be effected by some tiny things that i never notice.Linear thinking about career planning is an outdated and less-than-useful way to go about the process. 
"Chaos looks orderly from afar" but at the same time "Systems will ultimately reveal an order" if one approaches these issues from the "chaos" perspective. These things happen to every students from time to time, but they happen with enough regularity that there's something we really want to understand.By reading this book and follow the access step by step,i map myself a picture in focus.I found it extremely helpful in shaping my ideas for what I could "do" and how to promote myself to an employer.
