    Your resume is a marketing tool written to tell potential employers about your skills, education, and work experience. In this section, you will learn how to create a resume to attract recruiters and hiring managers based on your field of study.

    While resumes should only include the most relevant information about you, a Curriculum Vitae (CV) contains your entire career history. CVs are more commonly used in academic settings and are for research, faculty, or professionals with 10+ years of experience.

    Cover letters are another marketing tool that provides employers with further information regarding your interest in the position and space for you to personalize your application further.
