Do I need to hand in a cover letter with a resume, and any resume writing tips?

  • I'm basically applying at every store at my local shopping center, I really need a job, preferably at a clothes store. Ive made a resume but I'm not sure how good it is, or how to make it stand out from anyone else's to get me the interview. Any tips on resume writing? also, should I hand in a cover letter as to why I want that particular job? any suggestions are great! thankyou

  • Answer:

    Yes, you need to hand in a cover letter with a resume, it shows that you are serious on getting employed and take care of the little things required. If there are any libraries or universities around your locality see if they offer resume critique services or even better offer any resume and cover letter writing workshops. They would be beneficial. If not, search around the internet for resume samples, learn as much as possible and then implement your knowledge.
