Dear Sir or Madame:

I am writing in response to your ad in the Austin American-Statesman for a position listed as Science Editorial. I believe my broad-based scientific knowledge and writing skills make me an excellent candidate for this position.

My education includes a B.S. in Zoology with honors, and two years of medical school. Through these studies, I have gained in-depth knowledge of many scientific subjects which include biology, chemistry, anatomy, physiology, and genetics. As an Advanced Placement English student, a participant in University Interscholastic League writing contests, and the daughter of an English teacher, I have a good working knowledge of English as well as strong writing skills. Currently, I am enrolled in a technical communications course to further augment my writing skills.

Concerning my related experience, I have been employed as a Science Consultant and Technical Writer for Education Networks Corporation. In that position, I was the sole writer on scientific subjects (life and earth sciences) for a project involving development of software for Comptons Childrens Encyclopedia on CD-ROM. My teaching experience includes tutoring medical and nursing students in human anatomy, physiology, and histology. Positions working in the medical field have allowed me to develop superior interpersonal skills.

I plan to use my employment in the medical field and my technical writing experience to find full-time employment as a writer on technical subjects and more fully utilize my scientific knowledge. I will also continue evening coursework in technical communications and desktop publishing.

Enclosed is a resume that provides more detail about my background. I am excited by an opportunity such as the one you advertised, and I believe I would be a creative and energetic asset to Holt, Rinehart and Winston. I can be contacted at (512) 001-0007.

Dear Mrs. Lesser:

I am writing in response to your ad in the Austin American-Statesman for a Technical Writer/Intern. I have attached a copy of my resume for your review.

During the past five years, I have gained valuable experience in various types of technical writing, documentation, and graphic design. I have written technical specifications, government contracts, and white papers for International Software Systems, Inc., in conjunction with several branches of the United States Army and Navy. I have also edited several ads that were published in major magazines for Object International (such as PC World, PC Weekly, and ORACLE). In my current position at Dell Computer Corporation, I have written and illustrated an employee handbook and documented and flowcharted several corporate processes (such as hiring processes, EMI procedures and flowchart maps for engineering reviews and checkpoints).

I am currently in the process of completing my Associate Degree in Communication at Austin Community College. Once I achieve this degree, I plan to transfer to The University of Texas (at Austin) to complete a Bachelors Degree in Journalism. While my studies at UT have been invaluable to my career goals, your intern program provides an important element. I have been searching for an employment opportunity like this one that combines my continuing education with practical experience in technical writing.

In the past, several team members from your organization have assisted me in completing projects on a contract basis. They were instrumental in enhancing documents and the work reflected a strong sense of pride and professionalism. Since these are the same business ethics I strive for personally, I can think of no better learning environment than joining an organization such as yours.

I look forward to having the opportunity to further discuss my qualifications with you.

Sincerely yours,

Carol N. Brand

I am writing about your newspaper ad in the August 1 Austin-American Statesman concerning your need for an experienced programmer in the database environment. I believe that I have the qualifications and experience that you are looking for.

As for my experience with database programming, I have worked for the past year as a programmer/analyst in the Query database environment for Advanced Software Creations. In that capacity, I have converted a large database that was originally written in a customized C language database into the Query database environment. I am currently working on a contract with Texas Parks and Wildlife to make major modifications to its existing Query database application. On both of these assignments, I have also served as customer contact person.

Related to this database-programming experience is the work I have been doing to write and market an automated documentation utility for Query database applications. This product was written using a combination of C, Pascal, and Query programming languages. I was responsible for the authorship of the Pascal and Query programs. The Pascal programs are completely responsible for the user interface and system integration management.

Enclosed you will find a resume, which will give you additional information on my background and qualifications. I would welcome a chance to talk further with you about the position you are seeking to fill. I can be reached by phone between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. at (513) 545-1098.

How to write resume?

A Resume comprises a set of details that are going to create some kind of picture in the mind of the employer about the employee. In fact before the candidate communicates to the employers, the resume do communicates first. Therefore writing resume needs a special care to be taken. A candidate must design it well, while designing, one has to put followings in his or her resume.

Annotations

Resume overview. This resume summarizes the work experience and education of a veterinarian-to-be who is seeking a veterinarian-assistant position.

Note: This resume has not been designed as an online or web resume. Web resumes take advantage of the web and online delivery medium in ways; this example is simply a rendering of the printed version.

Heading. This writer puts his name, address, and phone number in the heading portion of his resume. You can consider including your e-mail address, professional title, or key certifications.

Objective. In this section, the writer states the kind of employment he is seeking. In some cases, writers also indicate their career goals as well. Of course, if you include a section like this one, you must remember to revise with practically each new job application. A common problem with objective statements is that some writers make them pure fluff: they state that they want a rich and rewarding career with a dynamic company with opportunities for growth and advancement. These kinds of objectives say nothing!

Experience section. Notice that this writer bolds the name of the place where he worked and italicizes the job title. Some writers would reverse this design to emphasize the job title. Notice too that this writer bullets the job responsibilities. This is a good technique on two accounts: it makes scanning this information easier, and it uses up more vertical space in a resume that might have trouble filling a full page.

Education section. Notice that this writer carries over the same design from the education section. In this case, the school name is bold and the degree or major is italics just beneath it.

Locations and dates. Notice how this writer places the dates in a right column. Notice too that that are in reverse chronological order.

Writing style. Notice that this resume, like most others, uses a verb-phrase style of writing, deleting "I" and beginning with the verb of the sentence. Although you should keep your writing compact, you should still use good English throughout a resume.

Details, details, details. Notice the amount of specific that this writer pumps into this resume. Details are important: they cause readers to slow down and consider, they give resumes more substance, they create a more credible picture of the writer, and they cause the writer to stand out and be remembered.

Design. Notice how the body of this resume is essentially a three-column design, with the main headings in the first column, the text in the second, and the dates in the third. This produces a clean, well-organized look. Avoid creating multiple alignments in resumethat produces a ragged, fragmented, disorganized look. Notice too how format and style details are consistent in each sectionfor example, the headings in the first column are all Arial all-cap bold punctuated with a colon. Simple consistencies like these make resumes more readable and less "noisy" in design. Ordinary readers may not recognize such seemingly minor details or understand how they affect their reading of or overall response to a resumebut such details have an important impact nonetheless.

That completes the comments for this example. Examples
