Assignment 2

Search for five [5] resources that you consider very helpful in preparing an effective résumé and a strong cover letter.

===Basic resume format selections:- For a person to understand the components and formats one can use to make their resume professional and to the point is very effective. Certain resources will explain to use our contact information, experience, education, as well as relevant training, Others will get into more detail to explain your goals weather in depth of career and or personal to give the user opportunities to explain how their experiences fit the roles of the title they are applying for. Either way taking the time and understanding to create a resume format that is functional to the job they are applying for are where different resources can help manipulate such standards into their resume.

===Template- Pre formed templates help me drastically when I’m choosing a resume. Most commonly because I can physically see a detailed version of what I believe a resume would look like before I build it. There are many times just taking a few minutes to see several examples of different templates lets me create a customized template that fits the functions I’m trying to get across to the employer I’m trying to impress in my resume.

==Cover Letter creator- A Cover letter in my years of understandings truly give a person the opportunity to make qualifications and details they feel are qualifying for the job they are applying for to be able to be brought out in the very beginning to make their best first lines attractive to the person they are getting evaluated on by writing out a cover letter professionally.

===Job search engine that uploads resumes-These particular search engines are outstanding for finding the specific type of work one is reaching out to being qualified for. When we upload our resume to a profile in one of these engines we can be viewed by employers seeking individuals that match our criteria without tracking them down to see if they are hiring because they use these sights to seek us out which is a much larger horizon of job possibilities to have with using this particular resource in my opinion.

===ATS bypass methods-ATS stands for Applicant Tracking systems which are created for employers to seek out keywords and phrases they are looking for out of candidates when they have a very large number of people who are applying for the same job. To incorporate this strategy as a resource as a way to customize your resume to fit phrases companies use for the ideal candidate can set you ahead of the line to being noticed on the fore front instead of the bottom of the barrel. With all of these resources combined we can create a resume that stands out above and beyond the competition in my belief how about yours?

Using TechSmith Snagit free trial, a screen capture video recording tool, prepare a 5-minute clip to present all five resources you selected. Explain why you selected them and how they helped in crafting your resume and cover letter. Your clip should include a visual recording of your screen and your voice commenting on your screen. Once your clip is ready, add the link to your clip into this assignment’s report. Use the subtitle: Screencast Link.

As part of your showcase portfolio, you will craft both your résumé and a cover letter. These documents will be included in your final portfolio as evidence of skills development.
