When applying for jobs, most people will need to write a cover letter and resume.
These documents can be challenging to write. Some students think they don't have enough experience to write a complete resume, or they think the experience they DO have is not relevant to the job they're applying for.
These are common worries, and there are lots of resources to help you create a strong, targetted cover letter for each job application you submit.
The resources below are supplementary to the help that UPEI Career Services provides in-person and on our Moodle page.
