Sample Resumes and Cover Letters

Below you will find samples to follow in developing your own resume and job-search correspondence. These are also available in the Career Guide, which you can pick up in any of our offices.

Try to avoid copying the samples word-for-word! You don't want yours to appear too much like others that a single employer might receive.
