Occasionally I am approached by a family or friend of the
family to write a resume and cover letter
for them. In Part #1 of this article instead of
describing the purpose, parts and poise of an effective
resume and cover
letter, below is an actual copy of the Cover Letter written for my niece. She was
hired by a well-known company, based on the resume that was posted on the
internet and a phone
call interview. An actual copy of the resume can be viewed in Part #2 of this article. The names
and places have been changed for
purposes of privacy protection.
