In our career development presentation, I saw several important points that were addressed relating to cover letters, resumes, and interviews.

One important quality hiring employers look for is first impression.  The first thing an employer looks for when recruiting is whether or not the recruit looks interested in the position.  This means dressing up and look like you want the job.  The job should mean more to you then just a position you applied for.  In the interview itself this means that you should have done some homework on the company you applied for to reinforce your reasons why you would be the ideal hire for the company.  You should be able to talk fluently and show that you are capable of being social in a professional setting.

Resumes and cover letters are fairly important for getting your general information to employers.  When creating a resume include relevant details.  Don't include miscellaneous jobs and volunteer work if its not relevant to the job you are applying for unless it says something unique about your character.  Resumes should be proofread as well. If an employer sees careless spelling and grammar in something as simple but important as a cover letter or resume, what can they assume about your future professional work in the company.

During this presentation i learned quite a few more things about future employment and so in this stage of our education the career development center is there to help us make good resumes, cover letters, and interviewing preparation.
