Resume, Cover Letter, Portfolio, Work Samples
Did you know that the average employer spends 6-7 seconds the first time they review your resume or cover letter? To stand out from the competition, it’s critical that you create tailored, accomplishment-based resumes and cover letters. Check out the UTM Career Centre toolkit.
Also, certain industries may require more than just a resume and a cover letter. For example, software developers may need a Github or a good portfolio of passion projects. An animator in the animation industry may require an online portfolio.
