#CareerBytes: Tips for writing resume, cover letter for off-campus placements
Off-campus placement job interviews are a great opportunity to secure a job, especially for college students not placed in campus recruitments. The importance of a well-written cover letter and resume for off-campus placements cannot be emphasized enough. Candidates must ensure they have a presentable cover letter and resume while looking for a job. Here are some tips for writing a cover letter and resume.
Ensure cover letter, resume are crisp and have no mistakes
The first and most important step for succeeding in finding a job off-campus is to create an impeccable cover letter and resume. Students must be able to present themselves on paper in the best way possible. To make a good impact on the recruiter, candidates should have a crisp cover letter and resume and ensure they are no typos, grammatical errors, or other mistakes.
Make sure you provide these details on resume's first page
Candidates should provide details like name, contact number, email ID, the area of interest, their latest marks, etc. on the first page of the resume. They should mention their educational qualifications (current qualification up to current semester along with the latest score). Also, they should ensure that the email ID they are providing is professional and contains their first name, surname, or initials.
You should also provide these details in your resume
On the next page of the resume, candidates can provide details like technical abilities, details about the projects done as part of their curriculum, academic achievements or highlights, etc. Next, candidates can provide other personal details. They should ensure their resume is not too long.
What makes a good cover letter?
Writing a cover letter is considered tough. But it's vital for attracting employers to the candidate's profile. A cover letter is a document sent along with a resume. It should brief the potential employer about the candidate, qualifications, and a personalized account of why they should be considered for the job. It should be a concise and error-free document that contains only relevant information.
