Brand: Leopard 58

leopard 58 catamaran for sale

The award winning line of Leopard Catamarans happily announces its newest addition, the luxurious and innovative Leopard 58. This exciting new member of the Leopard family, expertly crafted by world renowned Robertson and Caine, stays true to Leopard Catamarans sleek and innovative style. The designers at Robertson and Caine took 40 years of customer feedback into consideration when creating the new Leopard 58, as they have with the rest of the Leopard range. This makes each Leopard unique, and the Leopard 58 is no exception.

This one of a kind catamaran includes a large flybridge with lounge area with seating for up to 12. This picturesque area provides the perfect space for cocktails, lounging, or even meals. Also located on the flybridge, the helm station, equipped with some of the latest boating technology, including a Plastimo offshore 75 compass. This location gives the helmsman a 360 degree view, perfect for blue water sailing.

Like her sister, the award winning Leopard 44 which made her debut in 2011, the Leopard 58 also incorporates a forward cockpit with direct access from the saloon, only seen on Leopard Catamarans. This special feature allows for even more outdoor living space. The forward cockpit, first seen on the Leopard 44, received a healthy amount of positive recognition from judges in both Cruising World’s Boat of the Year 2012, and SAIL Magazine’s Best Boats 2012.

The Leopard 58 also includes a large aft cockpit with seating for up to 12 at stand-alone tables and chairs, which can be stored in the cockpit locker. This versatile area gives an expansive amount of flexible space for standing, or dining. The aft cockpit also leads straight to the hydraulic dinghy and swim platform found at the back of yacht.

This yacht comes with anywhere between 2 and 6 cabins, and 2 to 6 shower rooms and heads. The Leopard 58 accommodates groups with family get-a-ways in mind or the couple who wants to sail the world. The interior, just as aesthetically pleasing as the exterior, is complete with cherry wood finishes, wood trim, plush faux leather seating, and large windows letting in an abundance of natural light. The state of the art galley is prepared for all culinary needs, with ample counter and prep space, a large double sink, oven, fridge, and a plethora of cabinet space.

The Leopard 58 makes her debut in Annapolis, Maryland this October at the United States Boat Show. She will be on display and available for sea trials. Her arrival is anxiously awaited!

Evolving from 40 years of customer feedback, Leopard Catamarans pooled their expertise with builders Robertson and Caine to design the Leopard line of blue water cruising catamarans. As the worldwide dealer, we’re proud to say that over 900 Leopard cats have now sailed more than 9 million miles and the world’s largest oceans.

leopard 58 catamaran for sale

Yacht Overview

2014 ROBERTSON AND CAINE LEOPARD 58 – Dalliance

* 100% refurbished in her recent refit.

BUILDERS REMARKS:  Nothing compares to cruising the sea aboard the Leopard 58, exclusively designed and built for The Moorings by Robertson and Caine. With a spacious, split-level floor plan featuring two cabins opening to a forward cockpit and four cabins below (all with private en-suite baths), the 5800 provides unforgettable sailing getaways for large groups.

Venture up to the enormous fly bridge and captain from the helm station with a 360-degree vantage point, all sail control lines within arm's reach, electric winches and a fully equipped Raymarine Navigation System. Performance under sail is nothing short of impeccable and made all the more pleasurable by fly bridge amenities including stylish lounge seating with an additional propane grill and wet bar/refrigerator.

Down below, you'll find spacious, teak-style decking, state-of-the-art equipment and air-conditioning, making this yacht an unrivalled leader in cruising comfort.

Inside the 5800, you'll discover a well-appointed galley with a large refrigerator, 2-drawer freezer, 4-burner gas cooker with oven & broiler, and microwave, offering the tools necessary for dining afloat. Meals can be enjoyed in the saloon, which includes plush wrap-around seating and a wet bar. The yacht also comes complete with 46” flat screen TV/DVD player, onboard WiFi, Apple TV, CD stereo with MP3 connection, as well as cockpit and fly bridge speakers.

BROKERS REMARKS: DALLIANCE is the only crewed ex-charter Leopard 58 available on the market.  There is a reason that existing owners have not wanted to sell, as there is simply nothing else on the market that gives Super-Yacht feeling at this price point.  Dalliance has always been the jewel of our fleet, and has been crewed by a professional team since day one.  The quality and calibre of this yacht reflects this, we welcome a viewing, and can introduce you to her loyal crew. 

AVAILABILITY: This yacht has just completed her phase out in BVI and is ready to sail away today.  She can also be sold back into the fleet on a 2 year yacht management agreement.  Inquire for details.

NOTE:  This vessel sustained some damage from Hurricane IRMA, and has been repaired following the builders guidelines.  The pictures of the vessel were taken after the repairs were completed.  Please contact your Broker for more detailed information on the repairs.

Why this resume works

  • Phrases peppered with keywords from the job ad, such as “writing grant proposals” and “decreased in cognitive cerebellar regions” can turn the tides in your favor in mere seconds. In other words, show the potential employer you’ve got what it takes to meet their needs and you’re golden.
  • Make strong action verbs (think “oversaw,” “organized,” “managed,” and “partnered”) your bullet points’ friends. It’s about directing the hiring manager’s attention straight to the good stuff you want to flaunt—primarily your proactive stance or results-driven mindset.
  • So, you believe your killer skill set should be your ticket in, huh? Then, make a convincing case for it by illustrating the required competencies (cue database management techniques, SAS, flow cytometry data, written communication, and statistical modeling) in your work history.
  • Then, to cap off, take full advantage of genuine metrics that let recruiters envision your impact and success potential. “5+ publications on effective vaccination development” and “saving $13,400 per year” from Ravi’s resume make for good examples.

Entry-level Research Assistant Resume

  • This section lets you discuss an interest in a particular field (and in a particular research assistant position). So,  tailor this section for every application you submit!
  • Even if the projects aren’t relevant to the field of research you’d like to study, adding them highlights transferable skills like data analysis and experiment design. Plus, it fills up space so you’re not worried about filling up a whole page. 

Laboratory Research Assistant Resume

  • Use numbers to discuss publications, team members you managed, money you saved, grant funding you helped acquire, or the outcome of your data analysis.  If numbers can measure it, include it!
  • However, unlike your data, these numbers don’t have to be perfectly accurate—they can be rough estimates.
  • Before you hit submit, run your resume through a  resume checker  or a spellcheck system (Grammarly is a good place to start). Better yet, after you run it through AI, have a trusted colleague review it, too. 

Clinical Research Assistant Resume

  • Highlight your track record of adhering to guidelines in past trials to help your clinical research assistant resume stand out.

Undergraduate Research Assistant Resume

  • However, even if you don’t have experience as a research assistant, include whatever work experience you have. Having any sort of job demonstrates responsibility, initiative, and the ability to work with others well.
  • Choose a template that allows you to add sections (like projects) to make up for a lack of experience while also filling the page.

Graduate Research Assistant Resume

Graduate research assistant resume example with internship experience

  • A strong graduate research assistant resume should include a career objective that describes your topic of interest. Tell prospective programs how you’ll contribute to their legacy as a research institution through your work in the field.

Postdoctoral Research Assistant Resume

  •  This section highlights your expertise, years of experience in your field, and achievements. Just remember to  tailor it for each application . 
  • Consider including projects such as club membership (especially if you founded it yourself), volunteer experiences, or independent research. 
  • Projects also make great examples to discuss in your research assistant cover letter .

What are research skills.

A career like research is an excellent option for anyone who can collect, analyze and interpret data, solve complex problems, dive deep into discovery, and offer innovative solutions. The best thing about being a researcher is that you can not only succeed in science and academia but also climb up the career ladder in the corporate world. Indeed, having solid research skills opens the door to many roles and industries, including academic environments, government settings, transnational corporations, startups, tech giants, and non-profit organizations, to name but a few.

From human behavior to regional studies to biotech, there are myriads of research spheres where a qualified individual can make a difference. Researchers utilize their skills to explore a variety of topics, and if you have your mind set on pursuing a career as a researcher, you need to understand what skill set is pivotal for success in this field.

In a nutshell, research skills are all about searching ways to resolve problems. They are knowledge, abilities and competencies that ensure you can investigate particular topics, perform critical analysis, extract and organize data, interpret results, form hypotheses, and derive data-driven conclusions.

As a researcher, you are expected to be capable of relaying your findings to other people in a compelling and digestible form and even inspire action, both in yourself and in others.

Whether you are a seasoned researcher or a novice in this field, you need to put the right skills on your resume . Below you will find a list of the most in-demand research skills in today’s job market.

The Top 10 Research Skills for a Resume

Communication.

Communication is a crucial aspect of a research career since you are required to share information, relay findings and spread knowledge efficiently and effectively, both orally and in writing . While communication skills certainly have a place on your resume , that doesn’t mean adding “Communication” to your list of skills is enough to move on. You need to provide relevant examples verifying that you can research things as part of a team and work towards a common goal. You could add something like this to add credibility to your claim:

Recruited 7 research assistants for clinical studies by visiting clinics and sending out email invites, increasing participation by 20%.
Explained 100+ research procedures to a group of study participants in 10 days, resulting in a 0% incident rate.
  • Problem Solving

Being an advanced problem solver means you can consistently identify issues and find effective and efficient solutions to them . It is an extremely valuable skill when it comes to research-based activities, and 86% of employers look for workers who are capable of solving problems in the workplace according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers’ Job Outlook 2022 survey. If you want to add problem-solving skills to your resume, you need to underpin them with relevant accomplishments. For instance, you could add examples like these:

Resolved course accessibility issues by creating interactive presentations for remote learners, increasing student satisfaction by 89%.
Developed and introduced a new computing environment for analysis, identifying 100% of failure patterns and improving issue detection by 75%.

Analytical Skills

Having analytical skills means you can parse data into digestible pieces, interpret them correctly and make data-based connections and conclusions . Data analysis incorporates a vast set of competencies, including technical skills like proficiency in programming languages, such as Python and R, familiarity with data visualization tools, like Tableau and Power BI, and a strong grasp of statistical analysis methods, such as hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and sample size determination. Armed with these skills, a researcher can take data to the next level and drive both innovation and profitability.

Being able to make sense of facts and figures both manually and using automated solutions will help you thrive in most roles, so recruiters would love to know that you are an analytical thinker when considering your candidacy. Your best bet here is to make sure they can find this out by examining your resume. You can add examples like the ones below to prove you can tackle complicated issues using your analytical skill set:

Collected, cleaned and analyzed first-party data from 10+ departments to identify the socio-economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company.
Performed regression analysis to determine the effects of a company-wide minimum wage increase, concluding that the hiring process was accelerated by 25% due to the wage change in question.

Qualitative Analysis

Qualitative analysis allows you to analyze a research subject using non-numerical and non-quantifiable parameters, characteristics and indicators and is based on abstract concepts . For instance, you can use qualitative attributes like human behavior or brand reputation to make business decisions or recognize investment opportunities. This skill is in demand today as it helps researchers use their observations to make conclusions, identify patterns and tackle challenges. Since you cannot quantify this area of your expertise, you need to provide relevant context to convince the reader that you are capable of analyzing non-tangible aspects of a subject. You can do that by using appropriate examples, like the following ones:

Evaluated the quality and accuracy of 200+ data sources in a month.
Performed quality control of high-volume content in a rapidly changing environment, maintaining a quality score of 99.9%.

Quantitative Analysis

Quantitative analysis is an approach that allows you to collect, study, measure, and analyze data . From statistical research to financial modeling, quantitative analysis includes a powerful toolkit that helps a researcher refine and simplify vast amounts of raw data to make better decisions and forecast trends.

Quantitative analysis has countless applications: with it, you can track metrics, measure variables and evaluate parameters in multiple fields, from finance and accounting to molecular biology and astrophysics. Therefore, it is no wonder that it is one of the most important research skills for a resume and highlighting it the right way is likely to help you move forward in the job searching process. You can prove that you know how to work with tangible data by providing relevant examples, like the following ones:

Designed a new data analysis technique, saving 30 monthly hours in parameter comparisons.
Used SQL to analyze customer data and identify areas for improvement related to customer conversions, resulting in a conversion boost by 75%.

Academic Writing

Academic writing is the ability to create complex documents containing scientific data, such as formulas, graphs, and charts . Academic writing skills help researchers prepare reports, presentations and articles for scientific journals and magazines, and if you have them, it means you know how to present technical information clearly and concisely. Recruiters from scientific fields are especially interested in candidates capable of writing academically, so submitting a resume with examples of written work is likely to help you secure a position as a researcher. Listing your publications to prove your expertise is the best option here, but since you might not have enough space to add all your papers, books and articles, you could highlight your academic writing proficiency with something like this:

Created 350+ articles on the principles of academic research for the university’s database, increasing student satisfaction by 60%.
Published 30+ papers focused on structural changes in protein conformations.

We know that expressing your writing potential in limited words can be difficult, so here getting assistance from a summarizing tool can be a good idea.

Literature Review

Literature review is a methodology that implies conducting rigorous research on a particular topic . Having literature review skills means you can explore your subject area in greater depth using sources like books, journal articles, industry magazines, etc. Such competencies allow you to build upon existing knowledge and generate new ideas, accelerating your research and pushing it to its full potential. Naturally, your literature review skills are a valuable asset to your resume. We recommend you to illuminate them with appropriate examples, focusing on tangible outcomes:

Gathered and reviewed 10+ articles on Stata to extract variables from a dataset.
Performed 100+ literature reviews to implement changes in clinical practice, boosting quality of care by 70%.
  • Time Management

Time management is a powerful soft skill that is especially valuable in research environments. It allows you to manage your time effectively, break large tasks into manageable chunks and prioritize them properly, set up measurable, attainable, and time-bound goals, and even juggle your responsibilities . Proper time management helps you stay focused on your work, boosts your productivity and thereby leads to consistently high results and impressive outcomes. From carrying out experiments to writing reports to teaching, as a researcher, you need to apply time management strategies on a daily basis to successfully accomplish your tasks. You can show you are good at time management on your resume by showcasing your successes, like in the examples below:

Developed a database for organizing behavioral data for 100+ study participants, decreasing data processing time by 30%.
Implemented data analysis techniques in Python, increasing the amount of data analyzed per hour by 17% and accelerating project completion by 40%.

Attention to Detail

Paying attention to detail is a vital aspect of being a researcher. Having this skill helps you gather credible information, perceive meaningful connections, notice discrepancies, and deliver high-quality work based on correct evidence. Since each and every aspect of a career in research requires efficiency and trustworthiness, attention to detail is something you cannot go without – otherwise, your progress will come to a screeching halt. Naturally, you need to illuminate this skill on your resume as recruiters seek candidates who can look at details with a critical eye and minimize distractions. And the best way to do that is by providing a relevant example of success. You can use the ones below for reference:

Checked 10 + data sheets for completion and quality per day, resulting in a <1% error rate.
Supervised the maintenance and updates of the lab’s database with a 99% accuracy rate.

Editing & Proofreading

Editing and proofreading skills are essential to perform successful research since they ensure it is both accurate and easy to read . While editing is more about making your text more digestible and improving the overall quality of your writing, proofreading corrects surface issues like errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar. Both require you to have a solid command of the language you use and a certain degree of focus. The devil is indeed in the details, so you need to always polish your texts before submitting them. Only this way will they be perceived by your peers and superiors as constructive and professional. And to prove you are good at editing and proofreading, you need to add appropriate examples to your resume. Here is how you can demonstrate your ability to provide high-quality texts:

Edited 11 federal grant proposals designed by my team, which generated $200+ in lab funding.
Edited a research paper co-authored with 2 postdoctoral employees regarding protein generation, which received the Best Paper Award in 2020.

How to List Research Skills on a Resume

Your resume is the best place to highlight your research experience and the value you could bring to your next role. The key here is to put your research skills in the right section so that they get noticed by the reader. You have no fewer than 7 options here:

  • A dedicated research section
  • Your work experience section
  • The education section
  • The list of your research publications
  • The projects section
  • The skills section
  • Your resume summary

If you have a solid research background, you may want to create a separate section on your resume and call it Research or Research Experience . This place will help you expand on your projects and their details, specify the nature of your research, and describe the specifics of your previous roles, providing relevant examples and demonstrating the most prominent accomplishments.

If your career is all things research, the work/professional experience section can incorporate your research skills and accomplishments. List your employers and your duties, along with the dates of your employment, like you would do when describing your non-research work experience.

Your education section is an appropriate place to highlight your research skills if you are a student or a recent graduate. You can put it at the top of your resume if you want to draw more attention to your research background when applying for your first job in science or academia.

If you have a whole host of published works, it could be a great idea to create a separate section for listing your publications . This will help you add credibility to your research skills and accomplishments. Research-related accomplishments can also be highlighted as projects on your resume. This might be appropriate if your research background is not so extensive or not quite relevant to your current career aspirations.

You can list your research skills in your skills section as long as they are tangible and relevant for the job you want to land. We recommend you to avoid general skills here and focus on industry-specific expertise, illuminating it with the keywords you can find in the corresponding job listing and relevant skill levels .

Highlighting your research skills in the summary section is appropriate if you are applying for a role where a robust research background is essential. Your resume summary is just a few lines appearing at the top of the document, so make sure to add only the most important research skills there – those that you want the reader to see first and foremost.

Why Are Research Skills Important?

Research-oriented positions and most jobs in academia require you to have a solid set of research skills. Employees outside these roles can also benefit from research experience – research skills are transferable , meaning you can bring them to the table no matter your position, career field or job level. Therefore, they are a valuable addition to a resume in many cases.

Businesses and organizations are eager to employ candidates with proven research skills because they can

  • come up with original plans and ideas,
  • design innovative products and services,
  • improve processes,
  • keep up with technology,
  • identify customers’ needs and requirements and find ways to meet them,
  • resolve complicated issues,
  • analyze competitors’ strengths and weaknesses,

By adding research skills to your resume, you show recruiters that you can think outside the box, know how to work with data and technology, are capable of making well-informed decisions, and are good at solving problems. This makes you a valuable hire in today’s skill-based job market

Research assistant with a Master's in Psychology and experience in designing and conducting experiments on cognitive processes. Proficient in SPSS, R, and Qualtrics. Seeking to contribute to ABC University's research on decision-making and memory.

Avoid using a generic summary that could apply to any research assistant position:

Recent graduate with a degree in Psychology looking for a challenging research assistant position. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

3. Focus on your most relevant qualifications

When space is limited, focus on highlighting your most relevant qualifications for the research assistant role. This may include your educational background, specific research skills, or experience with particular tools and software.

  • Bachelor's degree in Biology with coursework in statistics and research methods.
  • Proficient in data collection, data cleaning, and statistical analysis using STATA and SAS.
  • Experience with grant writing and manuscript preparation.

Avoid including irrelevant or outdated information that doesn't directly relate to the research assistant position:

  • High school diploma from XYZ High School.
  • Volunteer experience at local animal shelter.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.

  Experience

Your work experience section is the heart of your research assistant resume. It's where you highlight your most relevant and impressive research projects, skills, and accomplishments. Hiring managers want to see that you have the right mix of technical and soft skills to excel in the role. Use these tips to make your work experience section stand out.

1. Highlight your research skills and methods

Research assistants need to be well-versed in various research methods and techniques. Showcase the specific research skills you've used in past roles, such as:

  • Conducting literature reviews and synthesizing findings
  • Designing and administering surveys and interviews
  • Analyzing quantitative and qualitative data using statistical software like SPSS or NVivo
  • Presenting findings through reports, presentations, and visualizations

By highlighting your research skills, you demonstrate to employers that you have the technical expertise to support their research projects.

Many research assistant roles require proficiency in specific tools or software. If a job description mentions particular tools, make sure to include them in your work experience bullet points if you have that experience. This will help your resume pass applicant tracking systems and catch the hiring manager's attention.

2. Quantify your impact with metrics

Whenever possible, use numbers and metrics to quantify the impact of your work. This helps employers understand the scope and significance of your contributions. For example:

  • Conducted 25+ literature reviews to support grant proposals, resulting in $500K in awarded funding
  • Analyzed survey data from 1,000+ respondents using SPSS to identify key trends and insights
  • Co-authored 3 peer-reviewed journal articles published in top-tier publications

In contrast, vague bullet points without metrics are less impactful:

  • Helped with literature reviews for grant proposals
  • Used SPSS to analyze survey data
  • Assisted with writing journal articles

If you're having trouble quantifying your bullet points, try using our free tool, Score My Resume . It analyzes your resume and provides specific feedback on how to strengthen your bullet points with metrics and active language.

3. Tailor your bullet points to the job description

Research assistant roles can vary widely depending on the field, institution, and project. To make your resume stand out, tailor your work experience bullet points to the specific requirements and responsibilities listed in the job description. For example, if a job posting emphasizes data visualization skills, you might include a bullet point like:

Created interactive Tableau dashboards to visualize research findings, resulting in enhanced stakeholder understanding and engagement

By aligning your bullet points with the job requirements, you demonstrate to employers that you have the specific skills and experience they're looking for.

To ensure your resume is well-tailored, try using our Targeted Resume tool. It analyzes your resume against a specific job description and provides recommendations on how to better align your skills and experience with the role.

4. Show progression and leadership

Employers value research assistants who can take on increasing responsibility and leadership over time. If you've progressed into higher-level roles or taken on leadership tasks, make sure to highlight that in your work experience section. For example:

  • Promoted to Senior Research Assistant after one year, managing a team of 3 junior RAs
  • Mentored and trained 5 incoming research assistants on lab protocols and best practices
  • Led the development and implementation of a new data management system, improving efficiency by 30%

By showcasing your progression and leadership, you demonstrate your potential to grow and contribute at a higher level in the role.

If you're early in your research career and don't yet have formal leadership experience, think about times when you've taken initiative or ownership of projects. Even small examples of leadership, like training a new team member or suggesting process improvements, are worth including.

  Education

Your education section shows hiring managers that you have the necessary knowledge and training for the research assistant role. It also gives them a sense of your background and expertise. Here are some tips to make your education section stand out:

How To Write An Education Section - Research Assistant Roles

1. Put your education section near the top

If you are a recent graduate or have limited work experience, put your education section above your work experience. This highlights your most relevant qualification for the research assistant job.

For example:

EDUCATION Bachelor of Science in Psychology, XYZ University, 2020 Relevant Coursework: Research Methods, Statistics, Cognitive Psychology

However, if you have several years of relevant work experience, move your education to the bottom. Keep it concise, like this:

EDUCATION M.A. Sociology, ABC University B.A. Anthropology, DEF College

2. Include relevant coursework and academic projects

Listing relevant courses and projects shows you have specific knowledge needed for the research assistant job. Include courses that relate to research methods, data analysis, or the subject area you would be researching.

For recent graduates, here is an example of how to list coursework:

B.A. in Sociology, 2021 University of XYZ Relevant Coursework: Social Research Methods, Statistics for Social Sciences, Qualitative Research Senior Thesis: "Factors Influencing Voter Turnout: An Analysis of County-Level Data"

For experienced candidates, only include advanced degrees and specialized coursework that is highly relevant and sets you apart.

3. Consider including select academic accomplishments

Academic awards, publications, or presentations demonstrate excellence and initiative. They can help you stand out, especially if you are an entry-level research assistant.

  • Graduated Summa Cum Laude
  • Dean's List, 8 semesters
  • First Place, XYZ University Undergraduate Research Showcase

Be selective and only include the most impressive achievements. Don't list high school accomplishments or awards unrelated to research.

Action Verbs For Research Assistant Resumes

One of the easiest mistakes to make on your resume is listing the job duties for each position you held instead of focusing on your accomplishments. The best way to prevent this is to start each bullet point with a strong action verb. As a research assistant, you’ll want to choose verbs that highlight clinical, scientific, and technical skills. Use Tested or Analyzed to highlight your experience with running tests and performing data analysis, or Monitored and Documented to show attention to detail. If the position you’re applying for requires soft skills like teamwork and communication, choose verbs like Assisted and Supported to show how you’ve worked with senior researchers and academics, Supervised if you’ll be leading a team of research assistants, and Presented if the role required a lot of public speaking or outreach.

How to Write a Good Cover Letter for a Research Position

Writing a cover letter can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be!

Some people believe cover letters are a science. Others seem to think they are more akin to black magic. Regardless of how you feel about cover letters, they are one of the most important parts of the job application process. Your resume or CV may get you an interview, but a good cover letter is what ensures that the hiring manager reads your resume in the first place.

Writing a cover letter for any job is important, but the art of writing a good cover letter for a research position can make or break your application. While writing a cover letter for a research position, you have to walk a fine line of proving your expertise and passion while limiting jargon and dense language.

In this post, we will explain cover letter writing basics, and then dive into how to write a research specific cover letter with examples of both good and bad practices.

hands typing on blank google doc

What Is A Cover Letter and Why Do Cover Letters Matter?

A cover letter is your opportunity to tell a story and connect the dots of your resume. Resumes and curriculum vitae (CVs) are often cold and static—they don’t show any sort of character that will give companies a hint about if you will fit in with their culture. 

Your cover letter gives you the chance to demonstrate that you are an interesting, qualified, and intelligent person. Without proving that you are worth the time to interview, a company or research organization will set your application in the rejection pile without giving it a second look. 

So, what is a cover letter, exactly? It is an explanation (written out in paragraph form) of what you can bring to the company that goes beyond the information in your resume. Cover letters give a company a glimpse into the qualities that will make you the ideal candidate for their opening. 

Note that a cover letter is not the same as a letter of intent. A cover letter is written for a specific job opening. For example, if I got an email saying that the University of Colorado was looking for a tenure track faculty member to teach GEO 1001, and I chose to apply, I would write a cover letter. 

A letter of intent, however, is written regardless of the job opening. It is intended to express an interest in working at a particular company or with a particular group. The goal of a letter of intent is to demonstrate your interest in the company (or whatever type of group you are appealing to) and illustrate that you are willing to work with them in whatever capacity they feel is best. 

For example, if I loved the clothing company, Patagonia and wanted to work there, I could write a letter of intent. They may have an opening for a sales floor associate, but after reading my application and letter of intent, decide I would be better suited to a design position. Or, they may not have any positions open at all, but choose to keep my resume on hand for the next time they do. 

Most organizations want a cover letter, not a letter of intent, so it is important to make sure your cover letter caters to the specifics of the job posting. A cover letter should also demonstrate why you want to work at the company, but it should be primarily focused on why you can do the job better than any of the other applicants.

How to Write a Good Cover Letter: The Basics 

Writing a cover letter isn’t hard. Writing a good cover letter, a cover letter that will encourage a hiring manager to look at your application and schedule an interview, is more difficult (but certainly not impossible). Below, we will go over each of the important parts of a cover letter: the salutation, introduction, body, and conclusion, as well as some other best practices.

How to Write a Good Cover Letter Salutation

Don’t start with “Dear Sir/Ma’am” (or any iteration of a vague greeting, including “to whom it may concern”). Avoiding vague greetings is the oldest trick in the book, but it still holds a lot of weight. Starting a cover letter with the above phrase is pretty much stamping “I didn’t bother to research this company at all because I am sending out a million generic cover letters” across your application. It doesn’t look good. 

The best practice is to do your research and use your connections to find a name. “Dear Joe McGlinchy” means a lot more than “Dear Hiring Manager.” LinkedIn is a great tool for this—you can look up the company, then look through the employees until you find someone that seems like they hire for the relevant department. 

The most important thing about the salutation is to address a real human. By selecting someone in the company, you’ve demonstrated that you’ve done some research and are actually interested in this company specifically. Generic greetings aren’t eye-catching and don’t do well.

How to Write a Good Cover Letter Introduction

Once you’ve addressed your cover letter to a real human being, you need a powerful introduction to prove that this cover letter is worth the time it will take to read. This means that you need a hook. 

Your first sentence needs to be a strong starter, something to encourage the hiring manager not only to continue reading the cover letter, but to look at your application as well. If you have a contact in the company, you should mention them in the first sentence. Something along the lines of “my friend, Amanda Rice (UX/UI manager), suggested I apply for the natural language processing expert position after we worked together on a highly successful independent project.” 

The example above uses a few techniques. The name drop is good, but that only works if you actually have a connection in the company. Beyond that, this example has two strengths. First, it states the name of the position. This is important because hiring managers can be hiring for several different positions at a time, and by immediately clarifying which position you are applying for, you make their job a little bit easier.  Next, this sentence introduces concrete skills that apply to the job. That is a good way to start because it begins leading into the body, where you will go into depth about how exactly your experience and skills make you perfect for the job. 

Another technique for a strong lead-in to a cover letter is to begin with an applicable personal experience or anecdote. This attracts more attention than stereotypical intros (like the example above), but you have to be careful to get to the point quickly. Give yourself one or two sentences to tell the story and prove your point before you dive into your skills and the main body of the cover letter.

A more standard technique for introductions is simply expressing excitement. No matter how you choose to start, you want to demonstrate that you are eager about the position, and there is no easier way to do that than just saying it. This could take the form of “When I saw the description for X job on LinkedIn, I was thrilled: it is the perfect job for my Y skills and Z experience.” This option is simple and to-the-point, which can be refreshing for time-crunched hiring managers. 

Since we’ve provided a few good examples, we will offer a bad example, so you can compare and contrast. Don’t write anything along the line of: “My name is John Doe, and I am writing to express my interest in the open position at your company.” 

There are a few issues here. First, they can probably figure out your name. You don’t need that to be in the first sentence (or any of the sentences—the closing is an obvious enough spot). Next, “the open position” and “your company” are too generic. That sounds like the same cover letter you sent to every single employer in a hundred mile radius. Give the specifics! Finally, try to start with a little more spice. Add in some personality, something to keep the hiring manager reading. If you bore them to death in the first line, they aren’t going to look over your resume and application with the attention they deserve. 

How to Write a Good Cover Letter Body

So, you’ve addressed a real human being, and you’ve snagged their attention with a killer opening line. What next? Well, you have to hold on to that attention by writing an engaging and informative cover letter body. 

The body of a cover letter is the core of the important information you want to transmit. The introduction’s job was to snag the attention of the hiring manager. The body’s job is to sell them on your skills.  There are a few formatting things to be aware of before we start talking about what content belongs in the body of the cover letter. First, keep the company culture and standards in mind when picking a format. For example, if I want to work for a tech startup that is known for its wit and company culture, I can probably get away with using a bulleted list or another informal format. However, if I am applying to a respected research institution, using a standard five paragraph format is best. 

In addition, the cover letter should not be longer than a page. Hiring managers are busy people. They may have hundreds of resumes to read, so they don’t need a three page essay per person. A full page is plenty, and many hiring managers report finding three hundred words or less to be the idea length. Just to put that into context, the text from here to the “How to Write a Good Cover Letter Body” header below is about perfect, length-wise. 

Now, on to the more important part: the content. A cover letter should work in tandem with a resume. If you have a list of job experiences on your resume, don’t list them again in the cover letter. Use the valuable space in the cover letter to give examples about how you have applied your skills and experience. 

For example, if I have worked as a barista, I wouldn’t just say “I have worked as a barista at Generic Cafe.” The hiring manager could learn that from my resume. Instead, I could say “Working as a barista at Generic Cafe taught me to operate under pressure without feeling flustered. Once…” I would go on to recount a short story that illustrated my ability to work well under pressure. It is important that the stories and details you choose to include are directly related to the specific job. Don’t ramble or add anything that isn’t obviously connected. Use the job description as a tool—if it mentions a certain skill a few times, make sure to include it!

If you can match the voice and tone of your cover letter to the voice of the company, that usually earns you extra points. If, in their communications, they use wit, feel free to include it in your letter as well. If they are dry, to the point, and serious, cracking jokes is not the best technique.

A Few Don’ts of Writing a Cover Letter Body   

There are a few simple “don’ts” in cover letter writing. Do not: 

  • Bad: I am smart, dedicated, determined, and funny.
  • Better: When I was working at Tech Company, I designed and created an entirely new workflow that cut the product delivery time in half. 
  • Bad: When I was seven, I really loved the monkeys at the zoo. This demonstrates my fun-loving nature. 
  • Better: While working for This Company, I realized I was far more productive if I was light-hearted. I became known as the person to turn to in my unit when my coworkers needed a boost, and as my team adopted my ideology, we exceeded our sales goals by 200%. 
  • Bad: I would love this job because it would propel me to the next stage of my career.
  • Better: With my decade of industry experience communicating with engineers and clients, I am the right person to manage X team. 
  • Bad: I know I’m not the most qualified candidate for this job, but…
  • Better: I can apply my years of experience as an X to this position, using my skills in Y and Z to… 
  • Bad: I am a thirty year old white woman from Denver…
  • Better: I have extensive experience managing diverse international teams, as illustrated by the time I…  

The most important part of the cover letter is the body. Sell your skills by telling stories, but walk the razor’s edge between saying too much and not enough. When in doubt, lean towards not enough—it is better for the hiring manager to call you in for an interview to learn more than to bore them.

How to Write a Good Cover Letter Conclusion

 The last lines of a cover letter are extremely important. Until you can meet in-person for an interview, the conclusion of your cover letter will greatly affect the impression the hiring manager has of you. A good technique for concluding your cover letter is to summarize, in a sentence, what value you can bring to the company and why you are perfect for the position. Sum up the most important points from your cover letter in a short, concise manner. 

Write with confidence, but not arrogance. This can be a delicate balance. While some people have gotten away (and sometimes gotten a job) with remarks like, “I’ll be expecting the job offer soon,” most do not. Closing with a courteous statement that showcases your capability and skills is far more effective than arrogance. Try to avoid trite or generic statements in the closing sentence as well. This includes the template, “I am very excited to work for XYZ Company.” Give the hiring manager something to remember and close with what you can offer the company. 

The final step in any cover letter is to edit. Re-read your cover letter. Then, set it aside for a few hours (or days, time permitting) and read it again. Give it to a friend to read. Read it aloud. This may seem excessive, but there is nothing more off-putting than a spelling or grammar error in the first few lines of a cover letter. The hiring manager may power through and ignore it, but it will certainly taint their impression. 

Once the cover letter is as flawless and compelling as it can be, send it out! If you are super stuck on how to get started, working within a template may help. Microsoft Word has many free templates that are aesthetically appealing and can give you a hint to the length and content. A few good online options live here (free options are at the bottom—there is no reason to pay for a resume template).

How to Write a Cover Letter for a Research Position

Writing a cover letter for a research position is the same as writing any other cover letter. There are, however, a few considerations and additions that are worth pointing out. A job description may not directly ask for a cover letter, but it is good practice to send one unless they specifically say not to. This means that even if a cover letter isn’t mentioned, you should send one—it is best practice and gives you an opportunity to expand on your skills and research in a valuable way.

Format and Writing Style for a Research Position Cover Letter

Research and academics tend to appreciate formality more than start-ups or tech companies, so using the traditional five paragraph format is typically a good idea. The five paragraph format usually includes an introduction, three short examples of skills, and a concluding paragraph. This isn’t set in stone—if you’d rather write two paragraphs about the skills and experience you bring to the company, that is fine. 

Keep in mind that concise and to-the-point writing is extremely valuable in research. Anyone who has ever written a project proposal under 300 words knows that every term needs to add value. Proving that you are a skilled writer, starting in your cover letter, will earn you a lot of points. This means that cover letters in research and academia, though you may have more to say, should actually be shorter than others. Think of the hiring manager—they are plowing through a massive stack of verbose, technical, and complex cover letters and CVs. It is refreshing to find an easy to read, short cover letter. 

On the “easy to read” point, remember that the hiring manager may not be an expert in your field. Even if they are, you cannot assume that they have the exact same linguistic and educational background as you. For example, if you have dedicated the last five years of your life to studying a certain species of bacteria that lives on Red-Eyed Tree Frogs, all of those technical terms you have learned (and maybe even coined) have no place in your cover letter. Keep jargon to an absolute minimum. Consider using a tool like the Hemingway Editor to identify and eliminate jargon. While you want to reduce jargon, it is still important to prove that you’ve researched their research. Passion about the research topic is one of the most valuable attributes that a new hire can offer. 

Use your cover letter to prove that you have done your homework, know exactly what the institution or group is doing, and want to join them. If you have questions about the research or want to learn more, it isn’t a bad idea to get in touch with one of the researchers. You can often use LinkedIn or the group’s staff site to learn who is working on the project and reach out.

What Research Information Should be Included in a Cover Letter

A research position cover letter is not the place for your academic history, dissertation, or publications. While it may be tempting to go into detail about the amazing research you did for your thesis, that belongs in your CV. Details like this will make your cover letter too long. While these are valuable accomplishments, don’t include them unless there is something  that pertains to the group’s research, and your CV doesn’t cover it in depth. 

If you do choose to write about your research, write about concrete details and skills that aren’t in your CV. For example, if you have spent the last few years working on identifying the effects of a certain gene sequence in bird migration, include information about the lab techniques you used. Also, try to put emphasis on the aspects of your resume and CV that make you stand out from other candidates. It is likely that you will be competing with many similarly qualified candidates, so if you have a unique skill or experience, make sure it doesn’t get lost in the chaos—a cover letter is the perfect place to highlight these sorts of skills. 

Industry experience is a great differentiator. If you have relevant industry experience, make sure to include it in your cover letter because it will almost certainly set you apart. Another valuable differentiator is a deep and established research network. If you have been working on research teams for years and have deep connections with other scientists, don’t be afraid to include this information. This makes you a very valuable acquisition for the company because you come with an extensive network

Include Soft Skills in Your Cover Letter

Scientific skills aren’t the only consideration for hiring managers. Experience working with and leading teams is incredibly valuable in the research industry. Even if the job description doesn’t mention teamwork, add a story or description of a time you worked with (or, even better, lead) a successful team. Soft skills like management, customer service, writing, and clear communication are important in research positions. Highlight these abilities and experiences in your cover letter in addition to the hard skills and research-based information. 

If you are struggling to edit and polish your letter, give it to both someone within your field and someone who is completely unfamiliar with your research (or, at least, the technical side of it). Once both of those people say that the letter makes sense and is compelling, you should feel confident submitting it.

Cover letters are intended to give hiring managers information beyond what your resume and CV are able to display. Write with a natural but appropriately formal voice, do your research on the position, and cater to the job description. A good cover letter can go a long way to getting you an interview, and with these tips, your cover letters will certainly stand out of the pile.

18 Résumé Writing Tips to Help You Stand Out

By  Allison Pohle

Updated May 11, 2021 2:15 pm ET

  • A résumé isn’t just a list of every job you’ve ever had. It should demonstrate your accomplishments.
  • Mirror language used in the job posting so your résumé isn’t discarded by an applicant tracking system.
  • Use a clean and simple format. 

Companies increasingly  rely on software  to sort through applicants, which is why it is essential to tailor your résumé to ensure it makes the cut. Applicant tracking systems sort, scan and rank applicants by looking for keywords in applications. Although these programs can save time and money for employers, about 60% said such tools cause them to miss some qualified candidates, according to a 2016 survey of 1,200 job seekers and managers by CareerArc, a human-resources technology company, and Future Workplace, a research firm. Here’s how to make your résumé stand out to robots and humans alike. 

1. Highlight your achievements in your résumé. 

A common mistake job seekers make is believing a résumé is a recap of your career, when in reality, it should convey what you have accomplished, says Christy Noel, a career expert and author of “Your Personal Career Coach.” 

“I always say, spend less of your real estate describing your job, and more time describing your results,” says Ms. Noel.  

2. Customize your résumé.

Read over the job posting, and think about the work experience you have had that is most directly relevant to the position you are pursuing. You can leave out some past jobs and internships if the experience you had wasn’t related. Whatever you do: Don’t submit a generic résumé to dozens of postings. “Even if you have the best experience, if your résumé isn’t speaking directly to the position in which you are applying, there is a strong chance you’ll never even get an interview,” says Demisha Jennings, a certified professional résumé writer and founder and owner of She Assists LLC.  

The same applies to your cover letter. It is your chance to provide more detail on how your experience will help you succeed in the job.  Read our cover letter guide  for how to write one that makes you stand out.

3. Decide how to format your résumé.

Most of the time, a chronological résumé will work well for communicating your past experience. But, in some cases, a functional or hybrid résumé might be more appropriate.  Read more about résumé formats here.

4. Make your contact information easy to find.

Include your name, phone number, email address, city and state. It may also be appropriate to include the URL to your LinkedIn profile. You want it to be easy for hiring managers to reach out.

In addition to making it easy to connect with you, it is important to your job search that you grow your network.  Read our networking guide  for tips on how to do so.

5. Consider adding a summary. 

Many résumé templates leave space for an objective statement, outlining career goals, but that approach is outdated, says Ms. Jennings. Instead, consider a carefully worded summary. The summary is often the first place a hiring manager will look, and gives you an opportunity to introduce your skills high up on the page. You can also work in relevant keywords from the job description. “Recruiters are looking for what you can bring to the table and what you’ve done, rather than you saying, ‘I’m seeking a position,’” Ms. Jennings says. 

6. Great résumés should stand out to skim readers.

Most recruiters spend just a few seconds skimming through a résumé—with an average in one study of  7.4 seconds.  

To have the best chance of making an impression, ensure your job titles, company names and dates of employment are easy to read. The sections of your résumé should be adequately spaced, too, says Dana Leavy-Detrick, founder and director of Brooklyn Resume Studio. 

For additional ways to make a good impression on recruiters and headhunters, read  our guide on how to work with headhunters .

7. Make your résumé robot-friendly. 

Structure your résumé to meet the requirements of an applicant tracking system to give yourself the best chance of having it reach an actual human. Ms. Leavy-Detrick suggests the following:

  • Optimize keywords.  Use the same words and language that are in the job description. For example, three different companies might describe the same role as “programmer,” “developer” or “software engineer.” 
  • Use a straightforward format.  Avoid tables and text-based graphics, which might not get picked up by a scan of the résumé. Sans-serif fonts such as Arial or Helvetica are also best to ensure readability.
  • Think about order.  When formatting each line item of work experience, list the company name first, followed by the job location (city, state), your job title, and your start and end dates. Some résumés can get lost if the dates are listed before the job title. 

8. Prioritize relevant keywords. 

Tailoring your skills to include language from the job posting is an important way to let both the applicant tracking system and, eventually, a hiring manager, see how your prior qualifications tie into the job requirements. But just because you have a résumé full of keywords doesn’t mean you’ll automatically get an interview. “The ATS isn’t there to help the job seeker, it is there to help the employer review your skills against their most important qualifications,” says Ashley Watkins, a career coach and résumé writer with Write Step Résumés LLC. 

9. Craft compelling and concise bullet points.

The goal of a résumé is to list your accomplishments, rather than every duty you performed in the role. Résumé-writing experts recommend including no more than five bullet points per prior job listed. 

  • Don’t focus on tasks.  Many job seekers describe what they did every day, such as answering phones or creating marketing materials, Ms. Watkins says. “Simply copying and pasting the job description doesn’t account for the things you did great, that you did above and beyond your peers,” she says.
  • Instead, explain what those tasks achieved.  Emphasize your results. Ms. Watkins suggests asking yourself “Did I save [the employer] money? Did I save time? Did I improve a process? Did I build a relationship?” These will help you format your bullet points.
  • Use metrics.  Say what you achieved, then contextualize it—with figures if possible. You might not be able to put a monetary value on every accomplishment, but you can frame it by sharing details like the time it took or how many people were involved. “If you raised sales 50% in two months, that means a whole lot more than ‘I’m in charge of sales,’” Ms. Watkins says. 
  • Don’t omit accomplishments that aren’t quantifiable.  Not every achievement will have metrics to show success. If there are figures, you might not always have access to them. But that shouldn’t stop you from including them, says Ms. Leavy-Detrick. Perhaps you had a positive impact on the culture of an organization, or improved a struggling relationship with a client. These efforts could help to demonstrate your  soft skills.

10. Focus on transferable skills if you lack experience.

If you are applying for a job in a new field or you are an entry-level applicant and don’t have much direct experience, don’t worry. Highlight transferable skills you have developed in the past that will serve you well in the position, says Ms. Leavy-Detrick. For example, you could play up leadership skills you developed participating in an extracurricular activity or time-management skills you learned in a prior job.

11. Go beyond your work history, and include all relevant experience.

If you are new to the workforce, or are job-hunting after being laid off, you could also include related experience that was outside of a traditional full-time job, says Ms. Watkins. For example, you can highlight volunteer work, consulting projects or educational training, all as part of making the case for your unique value, she says.

12. Don’t worry too much about gaps in your résumé.

The Covid-19 pandemic economy resulted in many people being laid off or furloughed. Ms. Watkins says the 2020 job market reminds her of 2008, when she worked as a recruiter. The expectation at that time, she says, was that candidates would have  gaps  on their résumés or list more short-term positions. While it isn’t necessary to directly address the gaps in your résumé, you should be  prepared to talk about them in an interview . “The focus should not be centered on the fact that you were furloughed or laid off, it should be focused on you and your skills and what you do that impacts the company’s bottom line in a positive way,” Ms. Watkins says.

While it is common to list the months and years you started and ended positions in the job history section, you could just use years. This will draw less attention to a six- or eight-month gap, says Ms. Leavy-Detrick. 

13. Highlight relevant skills.

It is common to  add a skills section to your résumé , outlining expertise relevant to the position. You can include languages you speak, technical skills or courses you have done. If you lack experience, you can also complete some trainings, which you can find on LinkedIn and elsewhere, related to the job you are applying for and add the courses in this section, says Ms. Jennings.

14. Prioritize work experience over education.

The professional experience you have had is often more relevant to the position than your education history, which is why the work experience should be listed first. In the “Education” section, you should list where you attended college, if applicable, or the highest level of education you have attained. If you graduated with honors, you can flag that, but it isn’t necessary to list your GPA.

15. If you are early on in your career, a key résumé tip is to limit it to one page. 

If you are early on in your career, you should limit your résumé to one page. It is OK to start spilling onto a second page after you have eight to 10 years of experience, says Ms. Leavy-Detrick. 

16. Add some color for a stylish résumé that sets you apart. 

Your résumé should look clean and professional and you should keep applicant tracking systems in mind when formatting the document. But, if it is appropriate, you can add subtle accents of color in the section headings or in bars that separate sections as a way to differentiate your résumé. Ms. Leavy-Detrick doesn’t overstress the need for good design with her clients. “But it can definitely help,” she says. “When I say design, I don’t mean crazy graphic design. I mean having a polished application,” she says. “Think of it the same way you would coming dressed to an interview, it is part of your presentation, and so many people overlook this on the résumé.”

It may be appropriate to incorporate a more creative and graphic-based layout depending on the field in which you work and where you are applying. If you are applying for a position in a creative field, and you are emailing your résumé directly to a hiring manager, then it can be appropriate to use more designs, says Ms. Jennings. But if you are applying to a large company that uses an applicant tracking system or job portal, she says it is best to avoid using graphics unless you are working with a résumé writer who can help you get your resume through the system.

17. Proofread and double-check the formatting.

You may be eager to send your résumé or submit your application, but you should take the time to first check for typos and grammatical errors. You could also have a friend or family member look over it. When you are checking for errors, be sure to double-check the formatting. Sometimes the spacing can get thrown off when you save the file, so check how it looks as a saved document and, if you can, save it as a PDF before sending. 

18. Make sure the saved file name includes your name. 

Make less work for the hiring manager by including your full name in the file name of the résumé document.

Resume Summary Examples for Students (With How-to Guide)

Resume Summary Examples for Students (With How-to Guide)

Writing a great resume summary can make a big difference when you're a student looking for a job. This short overview of your skills is the first thing employers see, so it's important to get it right. Even if you don't have much work experience, you can create a strong student resume summary showing employers why you'd be a great choice.

This guide will show you how to write an effective resume summary. We'll give you resume summary examples for students and useful tips to help you stand out when applying for jobs.

What is a resume summary?

A resume summary, also called a professional summary, is a short statement at the top of your resume that shows your main skills, qualifications, and career goals. For students, it's a chance to highlight your school achievements, important classes you've taken, and any internships or volunteer work that relates to the job you want.

A good resume summary is usually two to four sentences long and should:

  • Get the reader's attention
  • Show your most important qualifications
  • Explain why you'd be valuable to the company
  • Match what the job description asks for

For students, a well-written summary can make up for not having much work experience by focusing on skills you've learned and things you've achieved in school.

How to write a student resume summary

Writing an excellent student resume summary takes some thought and planning. Here's a step-by-step way to create an effective summary:

  • Read the job description carefully: Look at what skills and qualifications the employer wants.
  • Think about your strengths: Consider your school achievements, relevant classes, projects, and any internships or volunteer work.
  • Choose what to focus on: Pick 2-3 main points that match what the job needs.
  • Start with a strong first sentence: Begin by introducing yourself and saying what you're studying.
  • Talk about relevant skills: Mention skills that fit the job description, including both specific and general skills.
  • Include achievements: Mention any important things you've done in school or extracurricular activities.
  • Share your career goals: Briefly say what you want to do professionally, especially if it fits with the job or company.
  • Keep it short: Aim for 2-4 sentences that really show your value.

Remember to change your resume summary for each job you apply to. Don't use the same general statement for every application. Instead, focus on what makes you a good fit for that specific job.

What to include in a resume summary

When writing your student resume summary, think about including these things:

  • Your current education: Mention your degree, what you're studying, and when you expect to graduate.
  • Relevant skills: Talk about both specific and general skills that fit what the job needs.
  • School achievements: Include things like a high GPA, being on the dean's list, or any awards you've won.
  • Relevant classes or projects: Mention any courses or projects that show skills the job requires.
  • Internship or volunteer experience: If you have any, briefly talk about work experience that relates to the job.
  • Career goals: Say what you want to do professionally, especially if it matches the job.
  • Personal qualities: Highlight traits that make you a good fit for the role and the company's culture.

Here's an example of how these parts might come together:

"Hardworking Computer Science student at XYZ University with a 3.8 GPA, looking for an entry-level software development job. Proficient in Java, Python, and C++, with experience in mobile app development for school projects. Exceptional problem-solving skills and a love for developing efficient, user-friendly apps."

Professional resume summary for college students

To help you understand how to write your own resume summary, here are some resume profile examples for students for college students in different fields:

"Third-year Business Administration student at ABC University specialized in Marketing. Skilled at analyzing data and using social media for marketing, shown by successfully promoting campus events. Looking for a marketing internship to apply what I've learned in class in a real-world setting."

  • Nursing Student: 

"Caring Nursing student in last year at DEF College with a 3.9 GPA. Have over 500 hours of experience in different healthcare settings. Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively in high-pressure environments. Seeking an entry-level nursing job to help provide patient-centered care."

  • Engineering Student:

how to write a resume for a research position

How to Write an Application Letter (Sample Included!) was originally published on The Muse , a great place to research companies and careers. Click here to search for great jobs and companies near you.

Whether you’re applying for a job , internship , scholarship, or volunteer position, a well-crafted application letter can help you stand out. It’s your chance to introduce yourself and make a strong first impression that sets you apart from the competition.

But how do you write an application letter that’s effective? Below, we’ll explain when to use this method of introduction and give you practical tips on writing one that gets results. Plus, we’ve included a sample application letter and a template to help you create the perfect document for any opportunity.

Apply for the role of your dreams! One of these open jobs on The Muse could be the perfect fit »

What is an application letter?

An application letter is a document sent with your resume to provide additional information on your skills and experience. It’s a crucial part of an application for work as it introduces you to potential employers and highlights your qualifications.

While some companies request it at the beginning of the application process, others might ask for it later, or not at all—but it’s always a valuable addition.

Unlike a resume, which outlines your work history, a written application allows you to elaborate on your achievements and how they relate to the job you are applying for. It is a much more specific way to introduce yourself and explain why you would be a good fit for the job.

How is an application letter different from a cover letter?

Some people use the terms “application letter” and “cover letter” interchangeably, but there are subtle differences between the two.

An application letter serves as your formal introduction to a potential employer. It highlights your interest in the role, your qualifications, and why you’re a good fit for the position. It’s a standalone document that provides a comprehensive overview of your skills and experiences.

On the other hand, a cover letter is usually more concise than an application letter and serves as a complementary document to your resume, providing additional context to your job application. It elaborates on specific points from your resume and explains how your background aligns with the job requirements.

Also, job application letters follow a more formal structure, often resembling a traditional business letter. They include your contact information, the date, and the employer’s contact information at the top. An application letter is usually addressed to a specific individual, such as the hiring manager or recruiter. While cover letters also have a professional tone, they can be less formal in structure.

Finally, the application letter is used primarily for job applications, internship applications, scholarship applications, and volunteer positions. In contrast, the cover letter is specifically used to accompany a resume during job applications.

When do you need to send an application letter?

Application letters are typically required when applying for jobs. However, there are other scenarios where you might need one:

  • Scholarship applications: When applying for scholarships, this kind of letter can help you stand out by showcasing your academic achievements and career goals .
  • Volunteer positions: Some volunteer organizations require an application letter to understand your motivations and skills relevant to the position.
  • Internship applications: Internships often require this document to understand your interest in the role and what you hope to gain from the experience.
  • Networking purposes: Sending one when reaching out to potential mentors or industry professionals can help you establish a connection and explain your career aspirations.

7 tips on how to write a job application letter

Writing an effective application letter involves more than just summarizing your resume. Here are seven tips to write yours:

1. Research the company—at least do a quick Google search!

Before you start writing, research the company to understand its culture, values, and needs. Tailor your letter to align with the company’s mission and the job description. There is nothing better for an HR professional than feeling that you don’t just want any job; you want to work with them for specific reasons, such as X and Y.

“Address the letter to the hiring manager by name if possible,” says Mike Chappell, CEO of FormsPal , who has more than a decade of experience reviewing application letters. “This shows that you’ve done your research and are genuinely interested in the company.”

2. Use a professional format and design

Your application letter should follow a formal letter of application format. Use a standard font like Times New Roman or Arial, and keep the font size between 10 and 12 points. Include your contact information, the date, and the employer’s contact information at the top of the letter.

There are many layouts online that you can use. Find one that represents your style and complements your resume.

3. Make it engaging from the start with a strong opening

Your opening paragraph should grab the reader’s attention. Mention the position you’re applying for and where you found the job listing. If you were referred by someone, include their name. Briefly introduce yourself and explain why you’re interested in the role.

4. Highlight your qualifications—what you can’t fully convey in your resume

In the body of your applicant letter, highlight your relevant skills, experiences, and achievements. “Use specific examples to showcase your accomplishments and how they relate to the job you’re applying for,” Chappell says. “ Quantifiable results can make a strong impact.”

Avoid repeating information from your resume; instead, expand on your most relevant experiences.

5. Show enthusiasm and genuine interest

Employers want to hire candidates who are enthusiastic about the role and the company. Show your excitement for the opportunity. Explain why you are specifically interested in this job and how it aligns with your career goals.

6. Keep it concise

While it’s important to provide enough detail, your application letter should be concise. Aim for one page, with three to four paragraphs. Be clear and to the point, avoiding unnecessary fluff.

7. Proofread carefully

Typos and grammatical errors can leave a negative impression on employers. Carefully proofread your letter before sending it. Consider asking another person to review it as well.

Common mistakes to avoid

When writing a letter of application for employment, be aware of these common mistakes:

  • Being too generic: Focus your letter on the specific job and company, and mention detailed information about them. Don’t default to a one-size-fits-all approach or AI-written document. “It is generally best to avoid using generative AI to write your application letters for you,” says Edward Tian, CEO of AI detector GPTZero . “Only you can write about those specific aspects of your identity and experiences in such a personal way.”
  • Focusing too much on yourself: While it’s important to highlight your qualifications, make sure to explain how you can benefit the company. “You can talk about your career goals, college classes that piqued your interest in the type of job you’re applying to—just make sure that they tie into why they make you uniquely qualified or well-positioned for the job,” Tian says.
  • Including irrelevant information: Avoid discussing unrelated jobs or hobbies, for example.
  • Using a casual tone: Maintain a professional tone throughout your letter. Avoid slang or overly casual language.

This precision helps employers narrow down their search to the most relevant profiles.

Connections and networks

Engaging in LinkedIn groups related to your field can further boost your profile’s visibility.

Endorsements and recommendations

Profiles with numerous endorsements for specific skills or positive recommendations from colleagues and supervisors tend to attract more attention from recruiters. These features enhance your credibility and showcase your expertise, making your profile stand out.

Thank you again for considering me, and I wish you the best in your search for the right candidate. Looking forward to keeping in touch! Best regards, Emily Carter

It’s best not to provide negative feedback about the role, company, or recruitment process. Focus on your own situation and reasons for declining.

Show appreciation for the recruiter’s consideration to keep the interaction professional. End the message on a positive note by simply wishing them well.

Example of reply to a LinkedIn recruiter: Hi Alex, Thank you for reaching out and considering me for the Senior Data Analyst position at DataWorks Analytics.

ChatGPT Is Writing Lots of Job Applications, But Companies Are Quickly Catching On. Here's How. AI tools may help write your cover letter, but it's also doubling the number of applicants.

By Sherin Shibu Edited by Melissa Malamut Aug 14, 2024

  • A Tuesday Financial Times report found that about half of job candidates are using AI in their applications.
  • Even though over 97% of Fortune 500 companies use AI for hiring, many large companies do not tolerate AI use from candidates.
  • Employers can tell if someone used AI by the language of the application materials, including certain keywords like pivotal or delve.

More candidates are using AI to crack a tough job market, and it's not only increasing the number of applications employers have to look through, but it's also requiring hiring managers to pay close attention to the wording of resumes and cover letters.

A Tuesday Financial Times report found that, based on the employers and recruiters the outlet talked to, about half of current job applicants use AI tools like ChatGPT or Google Gemini to add keywords to their resumes, write polished cover letters, and complete assessments.

AI-generated applications have also led to about twice as many applications per job posting as candidates.

But employers say it's getting easier to tell, sometimes with just a glance.

"Without proper editing, the language will be clunky and generic, and hiring managers can detect this," Victoria McLean, chief executive of career consultancy CityCV, told the Financial Times.

AI "simply can't" inject applications with the candidate's story and unique voice, according to McLean.

Related: AI Is Changing How Businesses Recruit for Open Roles — and How Candidates Are Gaming the System

According to Stanford University research , four words are a giveaway that someone may have used AI for writing help: realm, intricate, showcasing, and pivotal.

Another AI keyword that could make recruiters suspicious about AI use is the word delve . Paul Graham, co-founder of startup accelerator Y Combinator, noted in April that he received a cold email proposing a new project. When he saw the word "delve" in the email, he inferred that ChatGPT played a part in writing it.

Many large companies do not tolerate AI use by candidates. An April survey from Resume Genius found that AI-generated resumes were the biggest red flag for 625 U.S. hiring managers.

But that doesn't mean companies oppose using it to make hiring decisions — over 97% of Fortune 500 companies use AI software to filter candidates.

CVS settled a class action lawsuit last month over allegations that the company used AI facial tracking software in interviews without candidates knowing about it. The technology picked up on facial expressions and gave each candidate an "employability score" based on its AI analysis, per the complaint.

Workday, an AI screening software used by 10,000 companies including Adobe and Salesforce, also faces a lawsuit because of how it recommends some candidates and rejects others, potentially impacting who advances to an in-person interview.

4 Must-Have Items In Your Resume To Get A Remote Job

4 Must-Have Items In Your Resume to Get a Remote Job

For a lot of people, remote working is the dream. The benefits of remote work include no longer

dealing with traffic and long commutes, greater flexibility in managing your schedule, and the comfort of working from home.

But even more importantly, remote work can also open avenues for professional growth as it allows you to work for companies across the globe without having to relocate. If this sounds like an excellent deal to you, you’re not alone. According to the Pew Research Center , at least 65% of workers prefer to work remotely full-time, and 98% would like to have the option to work remotely at least part of the time.

With many CEOs calling their employees to return to the office , you may need to exert more effort to get a remote role, at least compared to the pandemic years . That being said, the demand for remote roles is still high in many industries, and with the right tweaks, your resume should help you get the remote role you want.

Here are four must-have items in your resume if you want to get a remote job today.

Previous Remote Work Experience

As with any job, you want to show previous related work experience to prove that you are qualified for it. With remote jobs, you want your future employer to see how well you fare with working unsupervised and what results you achieved in such setups.

But even if this is your first time pursuing a fully remote role, you can still highlight past experiences where you successfully collaborated with co-workers or stakeholders in different states or even overseas to accomplish set goals.

It’s particularly helpful to think about projects where you coordinated across time zones, managed communication remotely, or relied on digital tools such as Zoom or Slack to get the job done.

To make your resume even more attractive to employers, try your best to quantify your results and show how your work improved the company’s processes or contributed to the bottom line.

For example, you might mention how you implemented a new project management tool that streamlined workflow and resulted in a 25% increase in task completion rates, helping the team consistently meet deadlines. You could also cite a time when you managed a remote team across different time zones, which allowed your team to operate more efficiently and cut overhead costs by 15%.

The more you can show your ability to deliver good results in a remote setting, the more attractive you’ll be to potential employers. The key is to highlight your successes and show that distance will not hinder you from creating stellar results.

Collaboration Skills

At the heart of any successful remote working experience is effective collaboration with your peers and managers. Employers value collaboration skills because you don’t see each other face to face; it’s easy to work in silos and lose touch with the team’s overall goals.

Including collaboration as part of your skills is crucial, but to truly stand out, you’ll want to demonstrate that you were instrumental in getting the team to work collaboratively, even when you’re all miles apart.

Don’t forget to mention your experience in using specific project management tools like Asana , Trello , or Monday.com — this is important because it demonstrates your proficiency with the tools that help you assign tasks, track progress, and ensure timely deliveries, especially as a remote worker.

Excellent In Presentations

Presentations are a crucial skill for anybody to master, but it’s even more important for people working remotely. Because you’re not in the office, your best opportunity to make a good first impression is during meetings, and having excellent presentation skills will help you clearly communicate your ideas, engage your audience, and establish a professional presence.

You’ll want to cover the basics first. Ensure your slides are clear, concise, and visually engaging. Focus on structuring your content logically and practicing your delivery to maintain a confident and professional demeanor.

Once you have your content down, you’ll also want to be adept at using the tools. Remote presentations come with unique challenges, so also familiarize yourself with tools like Zoom , Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet . Learn how to use their features effectively, and find out how you can maximize them to achieve your goals.

Mastering the tools helps you maintain command of the room and avoid technical glitches as much as possible. You already spent a ton of time polishing your slides and delivery, so the last thing you want is to fumble around trying to share a screen or get a video playing!

Data & Numbers

From tracking customer behavior to optimizing supply chains, data allows companies to predict trends, personalize experiences, and stay ahead of the competition. But while we’re all practically up to our ears in data, it takes people with actual data analytics skills to find patterns and create actionable insights that companies can use to inform their operations.

If this is you, then you’re in luck. With Quanthub estimating the demand to have grown 650% since 2012, your skills are highly sought after, and companies will want to hire you, even if you’re on the other side of the globe.

But first, you’ll want to ensure that your data analytics skills and experience are highlighted in your resume. For example, if you’ve led projects where data-driven decisions led to increased efficiency or growth, you want to detail that impact in terms of numbers.

Mention specific tools that you’ve mastered and how you used them to uncover trends or optimize processes. Did you create a predictive model that saved your company thousands or even millions? Again, don’t just mention it—quantify it in terms of how it has benefited your company and its bottom line.

The more you can do this, the better your chances of getting hired for remote roles. It might be a bit more challenging, but the effort will pay off. So polish up your resume, highlight those key achievements, and get ready to seize the opportunities that come your way. Rooting for you!

When you're ready to leave your job, giving a two weeks notice letter is a polite and professional way to let your employer know.

While you might not always have to write a two weeks notice letter, it's become a bit of a tradition in many workplaces. Most people do it as a way to show respect and keep things on good terms with their boss.

The best part? Writing one is super easy. In this article, we'll walk you through how to do it and even throw in some templates to make it a breeze.

So, if you want to know how to move on with respect and grace, continue reading this article and find out :

What is a 2 week notice letter?

Why a two weeks notice letter is a must, is a two weeks notice legally binding, how to write two weeks notice letter in 7 steps, two weeks notice letter templates, key takeaways.

A two weeks notice letter is a formal notification (in the form of a letter or even an email) you give to your employer to let them know you plan to leave your job in two weeks.

It’s a simple, straightforward notification that lets your boss and HR know you’re on your way out, usually giving them a two-week heads-up before you officially leave.

Even though the name itself contains the word “letter” , you're most likely going to hand the document in as an email . 

Two week notice letter vs. resignation letter

Additionally, your two week notice letter can also include a resignation letter . Although these two terms are often used interchangeably, there are slight differences: 

  • Amount of detail. Basically, the resignation letter talks more about your reasons for leaving and the circumstance of the departure. On the other hand, the two weeks notice letter is all about the timeframe .
  • Length. As a consequence, a resignation letter might be longer, while a two weeks notice letter is usually brief and to the point.

In a nutshell: All two weeks notice letters are resignation letters, but not all resignation letters are two weeks notice letters. The two weeks notice letter is a specific type of resignation letter that gives a two-week advance notice before you leave.

Honestly, these two documents are so similar that they simply merge into one . Because, when you submit your two weeks notice letter, you're essentially doing both — formally announcing your resignation and giving your employer a heads-up about your departure date.

Leaving your job got you tongue tied?

No need to panic! Our AI Resignation Letter Generator will help you say goodbye professionally.

Despite what it may look like, handing in your 2 week notice letter isn't just a convention. There are actually pretty good practical reasons why you should always write one.

Here they come: 

  • It's a polite thing to do. Giving a two weeks notice shows respect for your employer and colleagues alike. It shows that you value your professional relationships and are considerate of how your departure might impact the team/employer. 
  • It can impact your professional reputation. Quitting your job cold turkey without letting anyone know can seriously damage your reputation. Plus, it can cause you troubles during your subsequent job search — vetting potential job candidates before inviting them to an interview is not uncommon. 
  • It gives your employer time to deal with the situation. Two weeks' notice gives your employer time to plan for your departure. For example, they can start looking for a replacement or redistribute your tasks.
  • It creates an opportunity for feedback. Also, submitting a formal notice often leads to an exit interview . Here, you can receive feedback (constructive, hopefully) about your own performance.
  • It can help you secure positive references. Finally, leaving on a good note can provide you with valuable references for your future employer. After all, you want someone to vouch for your work ethic and reliability, don't you?

How you leave a job can be just as important as how you performed while there. So, before you empty your cubicle and slam the door behind you dramatically, think twice about the potential consequences of not handing in your notice.

Sure, it's tempting to just pack your stuff one day and leave — especially when you've had a terrible boss . But would that even be legal? 

Well, it would. And it wouldn't — depending on your company's policies and state laws . 

For example, in the U.S. , employment is " at-will. " This means that either you or your employer can end the employment relationship at any time, for any reason (or even no reason at all), without legal consequences . So technically, you could leave without giving any notice , and your employer could let you go without notice too.

However, some companies may have policies that request or require you to give a two weeks notice. Still, these aren't enforceable by law . So, while ignoring these policies could definitively burn bridges, it won't land you in legal trouble.

On the other hand, if you’re part of a union, there might be specific rules about notice periods in your collective bargaining agreement . And these rules can be more binding than typical company policies! 

So, as you can see, it's always better to sit down and dedicate a few minutes of your time to write a polite 2 weeks notice letter. Because, whatever your situation may be, the benefits will far outweigh any minor inconvenience.

Before handing in your two week notice letter, talk about your resignation face-to-face with your employer. It shows respect and allows for an open, honest conversation. 

Now that we've covered the basics, let's have a closer look at how you can craft a two week notice letter that is both courteous and professional in just 7 easy steps :

Apart from the usual — your contact information (name, email address, phone number) and the contact information of your boss/HR department — you'll also need to add a date when you're submitting your notice.

If you're sending your notice to a single person, go with the classic “Dear Mr./Mrs [Last Name].” And if you're sending a copy to the HR department as a whole, you can start with “Dear HR Team .”

In the first paragraph, state your intention to resign from your position at the company. And don't forget to also state the date of your departure (2 business weeks from the day you send the notice).

If you choose to wrap your two weeks notice into a resignation letter, this is the place where you justify your decision. But it's not necessary to go into too much detail. Besides, it's better to discuss the reason of your resignation with your boss in-person.

Next, you can briefly touch on the positive experiences and opportunities you’ve had at the company. You can either keep it general, or mention specific projects or learning experiences that were particularly meaningful to you.

Before you sign off for good, let them know that you intend to complete all your tasks and duties as usual. As a sign of goodwill and professionalism, you can also say that you're willing to train a new hire or another employee to make the transition as smooth as possible.

And lastly, it's time to put down your signature. If it's a printed letter, sign right above your typed name. And for an email, simply type your name below the sign-off ( "Sincerely," "Best regards," or "Thank you." ).

Let’s face it, not everyone finds it easy to write formal documents, especially something like a two weeks notice letter.

But don’t worry, we’ve got your back!

To make things easier for you, we've prepared these 4 templates you can copy and paste to your word processor of choice. All you need to do next is fill in your information.

A two weeks notice letter is simply your formal way of saying you're resigning and specifying your departure date. It’s a straightforward notification to let your boss and HR know you’re leaving, typically with a two-week advance notice.

Here are 5 main reasons why you should always consider handing in your 2 week notice letter:

  • It's a polite thing to do. 
  • It can impact your professional reputation. 
  • It gives your employer time to deal with the situation. 
  • It creates an opportunity for feedback.
  • It can help you secure positive references. 

Additionally, your two weeks notice letter can include elements of a resignation letter . The main difference is that a resignation letter also provides the reasons for your departure, while the notice letter focuses on your departure timeline only. 

More often than not, these two documents merge into one. Here's how to craft yours in 7 steps:

  • Start by stating your credentials in a header. 
  • Greet the recipient politely. 
  • Clearly state your intention to resign.
  • (Optional) Provide reasons for your departure.
  • Express your gratitude. 
  • Offer to help with the transition.
  • Close with an appropriate sign-off.

How to use ChatGPT to write your resume

screenshot-2024-03-27-at-4-28-37pm.png

Back-to-school season is here, which means applications to their next academic ventures, internships, or first jobs are top of mind for many students. Whether you're seeking to launch your career or you've been in the labor market for decades, there's one thing we can all agree on -- creating a resume that attracts the eye of recruiters is a challenge.

How to use ChatGPT to write:  Cover letters  |  Code | Excel formulas | Essays  

Landing a job that aligns with your qualifications and expectations is hard enough. You also have to sum up all your professional experiences and strengths in one application -- and the heart of that application is your CV or resume. 

The ideal resume is a concise one-page document that highlights your academic, professional, and leadership achievements, which is just as difficult to assemble as it sounds. OpenAI's  ChatGPT  can make the resume-building process a breeze.

How ChatGPT can help build your resume

You can use ChatGPT to generate ideas and bullet points for your role from scratch or to refine and optimize your current points that are not hitting the mark. Beyond key points, the AI tool can help you answer questions about putting together your resume. Here's how to get started.

Side note:  We are using ChatGPT, but you can use any AI chatbot -- there are plenty of capable AI chatbots to choose from .

1. Choose a resume template

ChatGPT will help you with the text in your resume, but you'll need to pick a template before you get started. The program you're using to write the resume -- such as Google Docs, Microsoft Word, or Canva -- will likely have a resume template already.

Also: How to use ChatGPT to digitize your handwritten notes for free

A quick Google search for resume templates will also bring up hundreds of editable templates you can import into your program of choice.

2. Sign in to ChatGPT (optional)

On April 1, 2024, OpenAI stopped requiring you to log in to ChatGPT. You can now access ChatGPT simply by visiting ChatGPT's website . However, if you want to take advantage of certain perks, such as being able to revisit the chat later, analyzing PDFs , or digitizing hand-written notes , you need to sign up to access those features. 

Also:  How to save a ChatGPT conversation to revisit later

Signing up is easy. Go to OpenAI's ChatGPT homepage and open an account by creating an OpenAI login or using your existing Google or Microsoft account. ChatGPT is free, so the sign-up process is simple, requiring no credit cards or obscure information. 

3. Add text

If you want ChatGPT to generate text for your resume from scratch, all you have to do is ask. 

Whether you want it to generate your professional summary or an individual bullet, ask it directly. For example, I asked ChatGPT, "Can you write a short, professional resume summary about my role as a tech reporter?" Within seconds, it generated what you see in the screenshot below.

Also:  How to get ChatGPT to browse the web for free

Although ChatGPT can create content ready to be copied and pasted into a resume, you should tweak the text so it is personalized to your experiences and doesn't look like a chatbot wrote it.

Employers want to learn about what makes you unique. Without your assistance, the chatbot can only access generic content about your role. You can also use the  Custom Instructions  feature to share some details about your role and interests that ChatGPT can reference when outputting the text to give it a little more nuance. 

4. Use ChatGPT to revamp your text

Whether you fill out the template yourself before using ChatGPT's assistance or have an existing resume you want to enhance, ChatGPT is a great resource for polishing up text. 

All you have to do is copy and paste your text and ask ChatGPT to make it better. 

Also: The best AI chatbots: ChatGPT and other interesting alternatives to try

For example, I asked ChatGPT, "Can you make this resume bullet sound better: 'I write stories about technology.'" Within seconds, it outputted an elaborate bullet point that incorporated a professional tone and made that simple sentence more complex, as seen in the screenshot above.

Once you get your result, you can always tell ChatGPT to tweak it further with prompts like, "Make it shorter" or "Can you include [additional details]?" 

How much does it cost for ChatGPT to write my resume?

ChatGPT is currently free to use regardless of what type of writing you use it for, which includes resume-building assistance. 

How can ChatGPT help me with my resume?

ChatGPT can generate text for different parts of your resume, including your professional summary and individual bullet points for each experience.

Also:  How to nail the 'Do you have any questions for me?' part of the interview

The chatbot can also help enhance your current resume by optimizing your text. If you have any questions about how to format your resume and what to include, ChatGPT can give you some answers.

What should I put in my resume?

Ideally, you want a resume to highlight all your career accomplishments. This can include any educational, professional, and leadership experiences that are meaningful to you. You should also include as much detail about your unique experiences to make you stand out from other applicants.

Cybersecurity resume tips

Your resume should demonstrate your ability to protect and secure information systems and your knowledge of the latest security protocols. Here’s how to craft a resume specifically for a cybersecurity role:

Focus on security-specific skills and tools

Cybersecurity requires a specific set of skills. Highlight your expertise in areas like threat detection, vulnerability assessment, and incident response. List the tools and software you’re proficient in, such as SIEM systems, firewalls, and encryption technologies.

Mention your experience in protecting systems and data

Detail any experience you have in securing networks, data, and systems. Whether you’ve conducted security audits, managed security operations, or responded to incidents, this experience is crucial for a cybersecurity resume. Provide examples of how you’ve successfully protected or recovered systems from threats.

Show your understanding of regulatory compliance

Cybersecurity often involves ensuring that systems comply with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS. If you have experience with these or other regulatory standards , be sure to include this on your resume, as it demonstrates your ability to navigate the legal aspects of cybersecurity.

Highlight certifications relevant to cybersecurity

Certifications are particularly important in cybersecurity. They demonstrate your knowledge and commitment to the field, validate your skills, and indicate that you stay current with industry standards. We'll cover more about this later.

Demonstrate your problem-solving abilities

Cybersecurity is all about solving problems before they become critical issues. Provide examples of how you’ve identified and mitigated risks, improved security protocols, or responded to threats. This shows your ability to think critically and act quickly in high-pressure situations.

Cybersecurity resume tips for various career stages

Creating a strong cybersecurity resume requires different strategies depending on your career stage. In this section, we will provide straightforward tips for three groups: entry-level candidates with limited experience, professionals looking to switch from other IT roles into cybersecurity, and experienced individuals aiming for senior positions.

Entry-level cybersecurity resume tips

Breaking into cybersecurity at the entry-level requires a strong foundation, even if you lack professional experience. Here are some tips to help your resume stand out:

Highlight relevant coursework, projects, and internships

If you’re just starting out, your education is a key asset. List relevant coursework that aligns with cybersecurity, such as network security, ethical hacking, or information assurance. Additionally, showcase any projects or internships where you applied cybersecurity concepts in real-world scenarios.

Emphasize transferable skills from other jobs or activities

Even if your previous roles weren’t in cybersecurity, many skills still apply. Problem-solving, analytical thinking, and familiarity with IT systems are all valuable in cybersecurity. Highlight these skills and explain how they can be applied to a cybersecurity role.

Consider a functional or combination resume format

If you lack direct experience, a functional or combination resume format might serve you better. These formats focus more on your skills and qualifications rather than a chronological work history, allowing you to present your capabilities more effectively.

Skills like network management, software development, or IT support are often directly relevant to cybersecurity roles. Focus on these transferable skills and demonstrate how they can be leveraged in a cybersecurity context.

Consider obtaining relevant certifications to demonstrate your commitment

Certifications like CompTIA Security+, CISSP, or Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) show that you’re serious about your career shift. Mention these on your resume to underscore your dedication and readiness for a cybersecurity role.

Quantify your achievements and impact on the organization

Mention high-profile projects or initiatives

Senior roles often involve overseeing significant cybersecurity initiatives. Whether you led the implementation of a new security architecture or managed a response to a major threat, ensure these high-profile projects are prominent on your resume.

Certifications play a crucial role in establishing your credibility and expertise in the cybersecurity field. They demonstrate your knowledge and show employers your commitment to staying current with industry standards. Here's an overview of some key cybersecurity certifications:

CompTIA Security+

CompTIA Security+ is an entry-level certification that covers essential security concepts. It’s ideal for those new to the field, as it provides a foundation in network security, threat management, and risk mitigation. Security+ is widely recognized and often considered a starting point for a cybersecurity career.

Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH)

CEH certification focuses on offensive security, teaching professionals how to think and act like hackers to identify vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This certification is valuable for roles like penetration tester and security analyst.

Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP)

With the increasing adoption of cloud services, CCSP certification is a must for professionals focused on cloud security. This certification covers cloud architecture, operations, and compliance, ensuring that certified professionals can effectively secure cloud environments.

Structuring the resume: keywords, headings, and formatting.

A well-structured resume is easier for hiring managers and automated systems (like ATS) to scan, increasing your chances of landing an interview. Here’s how to format your cybersecurity resume for maximum impact:

  • Use the right keywords: Employers often use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to filter resumes before they reach a human. To pass through this filter, include relevant keywords from the job description. Words like "cybersecurity," "network security," "threat detection," and specific tools or certifications should be included strategically throughout your resume.
  • Effective headings: Your resume should be organized with clear, concise headings that guide the reader. Common headings include "Professional Experience," "Technical Skills," "Certifications," and "Education." Headings categorize your experience and skills, making it easier for employers to find the information.

An effective cover letter for cybersecurity roles

A well-crafted cover letter complements your resume and gives you a chance to highlight your qualifications and enthusiasm for the role. Here's how to write an effective cover letter for a cybersecurity position:

  • Tailor your cover letter to the job: Each cover letter should be customized for the specific job you’re applying to. Mention the company’s name and the position title, and explain why you’re interested in working there. Connect your skills and experiences to the job description, showing how you can meet the company’s needs.
  • Highlight key skills and achievements: Use your cover letter to elaborate on the most important aspects of your resume. Focus on key skills and achievements that make you a strong candidate for the role. For example, if you have experience responding to major security incidents, explain how that experience makes you well-suited for the job.
  • Show enthusiasm for cybersecurity: Employers want to hire candidates who are passionate about their work.

End with a strong closing statement, reiterating your interest in the role and your willingness to discuss your application further.

Final takeaways

Your cybersecurity resume is more than just a list of past jobs and skills—it's your first opportunity to make an impression on a potential employer.

  • Craft a strong cover letter : Tailor it to the job, highlight key achievements, and show your passion for cybersecurity.
  • Include certifications : They validate your expertise and show employers your dedication to the field.

Remember, your resume is often your first impression, so it should reflect your professionalism and attention to detail. Lastly, don’t hesitate to ask for feedback from peers or mentors; a fresh set of eyes can catch errors or suggest improvements that you might have overlooked.

Follow these steps, and you'll be well on your way to landing that cybersecurity role you're aiming for.

This scholarship resume is effective because it explores the candidate’s unique academic achievements within the computer science field at both the high school and college levels. The document shows that the applicant has a genuine passion for technology and has continually gone above and beyond to excel.

To write an effective scholarship resume, start by organizing your academic accomplishments, extracurriculars, and volunteer experience. Scholarship applications are evaluated based on a wide range of factors, but highlighting these aspects of your background is the best way to differentiate yourself from other candidates. Below, we’ll walk you through each step of the resume writing process.

1. Write a dynamic profile summarizing your qualifications

With the sheer number of candidates applying for scholarship programs, it’s essential to make a strong first impression on the reader. Introduce yourself and explain your academic goal. In the subsequent sentences, emphasize impressive accomplishments that demonstrate why you’re deserving of this opportunity.

For example, if you consistently achieved high grades, start by featuring your grade point average and academic awards. If you excelled in an extracurricular activity such as sports, theater, or music, display these achievements in your summary.

Strong Profile Example

A college student with a 3.96 GPA and two consecutive years on the dean’s list. A proven track record of executing innovative academic projects within the computer science field exploring artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Seeking the Morgan Technology Scholarship to continue pursuing a bachelor’s degree at the University of Washington.

Weak Profile Example

A college student with an excellent GPA and a strong work ethic. Passionate about computer science and academia. Seeking the Morgan Technology Scholarship.

2. Add an accomplishment-driven professional experience section

In a scholarship resume, your content needs to be centered around your most impressive academic achievements, extracurriculars, and community service contributions. It’s impossible to know the exact preferences of any individual scholarship review board, so focus on emphasizing key aspects of your high school and college career that can help you stand out from other applicants.

Strong Academic Experience Example

Computer Science Major, University of Washington, Seattle, WA | September 2022 – June 2024

  • Executed an academic project to build a calendar management mobile application with a user experience (UX) design centered on improving accessibility for senior citizens

Weak Academic Experience Example

  • Completed difficult computer science courses and projects on time
  • Maintained a high GPA over four semesters
  • Worked well with professors and fellow students in the computer science program

3. Include relevant education and academic awards

Feature your high school degree and any relevant academic awards you’ve garnered on your scholarship resume. Be sure to mention your GPA and any other academic distinctions that can bolster the strength of your application. You could also feature memberships in extracurricular clubs, organizations, or honor societies in this section.

  • [Degree Name]
  • [School Name], [City, State Abbreviation] | [Graduation Year]
  • Bachelor of Science (B.S.) Computer Science
  • University of Washington, Seattle, WA | Expected 2026
  • Dean’s list | 2022 – 2024
  • High School Diploma
  • Seattle Central High School, Seattle, WA | 2022

4. List pertinent key skills

It’s unlikely that a university or scholarship board will be using an applicant tracking system (ATS) to identify candidates during the selection process, so you won’t need to optimize your document for keywords. That said, still provide a list of your most impressive skill sets on your scholarship resume. Below, you’ll find a range of different key skills to consider adding to your document:

Key Skills and Proficiencies
Biology Communication
Community outreach Computer science
Data analysis English
Environmental science Leadership
Literary analysis Mathematics
Music Physics
Programming Psychology
Quantitative analysis Team collaboration
Visual arts  

How To Pick The Best Scholarship Resume Template

To send the right message to the scholarship board, you need a professional resume template that organizes and presents your information effectively. Avoid formats that are overly reliant on visual elements, as this might draw the reader’s eye away from your academic achievements and extracurricular activities. Opt for a straightforward template with a top-down structure that displays each section of your scholarship resume in a sequence.

How do you align your resume with a scholarship description? -

Adjusting your resume to match the scholarship you’re applying for is the best way to strengthen your application. As you begin building your content, start by researching the organization and what they’re looking for in a scholarship recipient. Feature key aspects of your background that match that description.

For example, if a university values students with extensive community service experience, emphasize these projects and initiatives heavily on your scholarship resume. If an organization is primarily interested in extracurricular activities, make those the focal point of your document. By tailoring your resume to each application, you’ll maximize your odds of receiving the scholarship.

What is the best scholarship resume format? -

A combination format is generally best suited for a scholarship resume, as it’s unlikely that your work history will be a key factor in the application. This allows you to reorder your education, volunteer experience, skills, and academic achievements depending on the scholarship. A reverse chronological approach can be considered if you have an impressive internship or relevant work experience you think is valuable.

Most scholarship applications will require a matching cover letter. To make a strong impression on the reader, explore unique aspects of your background that you wouldn’t normally include on a resume. For example, you could explore your cultural background and personal challenges you’ve overcome. You might also convey why you’re passionate about a particular academic field, sport, or extracurricular activity. For additional information, visit our internship cover letter guide .

Jump to Leopard 44 Catamarans For Sale

Designed by the USA team of Gino Morrelli and Pete Melvin,the Leopard 44 is built in South Africa by Robertson and Caine.

The Leopard 44 features two cockpits, one fore and one aft with outside dining area protected by a functional hard-top bimini. Sailing the Leopard 44 is easy: both main and jib sheets lead to stoppers and self-tailing (electric) winches directly adjacent to the helm. The galley-up has ample storage and a huge drawer type fridge and freezer. No steps up or down anywhere on the salon level. The 3-cabin layout features an owner-dedicated starboard hull with master stateroom, office area and large head with separate shower forward. The Leopard 44 represents Robertson and Caine’s innovative developments with modern features while remaining committed to the tried and tested features that have made the Leopard line one of the most sought after brands of catamarans globally.

Leopard 44 catamaran review.

History / Background

The goal was a solid, affordable mid-sized catamaran capable of blue water sailing and good for the charter market. Multiple awards and the boat’s enduring popularity show how well they hit the target.

The Leopard 44 starts with a hull construction of vacuum-bagged balsa cored e-glass with vinylester resin. This makes for a light, strong and blister resistant foundation to bond the fiberglass liner.…
