The resume and cover letter are two sides of a coin. Both are equally important; it is based on the quality of the cover letter the employers may open the resume. The cover letter is an important business letter. It plays a crucial role while applying for any job opportunity. In the cover letter, you need give the account of your most relevant educational and professional performance. You must address the employer and let him know how you got to know about the job opportunity and how you fit to this job opportunity.
You must try to use the words, which were used in the advertisement to ensure to convey that your professional experience and skill sets are very much relevant to the job advertised. You must mention your past achievements which can make the company hire you. The cover letter should not merely be a tedious and lengthy description of your profile but it should emphasize on your most significant experience and abilities. The cover letter is mostly of single page.
The resume is compared with the CV in most of the counties through it is shorter than the CV. The resume is usually of one to three pages. The resume means breaking down what you have done in the past. In case of education, you need to start with the highest level of education followed by the other degrees and courses. It is important to note the things in the resume, which you can do rather than just overstating the things, which turned out a fiasco in the face to face interview. There are several types of resume the most prominent being functional, hybrid, and reverse chronological resume. The reverse chronological resume structures the candidate's professional experience in a reverse chronologically. Generally, it cover your last 10-15 years of education.
The literacy coach cover letter is written with response to an advertised job opportunity. Like any other cover letter, it starts with the contact information and salutation line. In the body of the cover letter, we need to mention the pertinent job description such as helping to research the material, which is used by the teacher for teaching, providing innovating literacy practices through programs, giving coaching lessons to the students and teachers, and conducting professional developments programs. You are also required to highlight the major skills and abilities of the candidate. In the conclusion part of the letter, you need to focus on the next course of action that will be taken by the candidate.
