The following tools can be used to market yourself to contacts and employers. They can include a combination of the following:
Résumé |
A summary of your credentials, work experience, skills and abilities, usually used for all applications. |
|---|---|
Letter of introduction |
Sent with a résumé when you contact a company or individual and ask that you be considered for present and future suitable opportunities. |
Cover letter |
Sent with resume when you are responding to an advertisement. |
Portfolio |
A binder/ folder containing evidence of your work, skills, abilities, training, education, letters of recommendation etc. |
The most effective job search tools are those, which specifically target a particular job, profession, company or organization. Generic job search tools are less effective.
