Resume and Cover Letter Tips
- Less is more! We recommend one-page maximum each for resume and cover letter, in doc format or similar.
- Use academic grammar and vocabulary and proofread for perfection in both.
- Make it engaging and to the point because if you believe that human resource professionals are going to spend several minutes with your resume, you´re wrong! According to a study released by TheLadders, an online job-matching service, recruiters spend an average of six seconds reviewing an individual resume.
- Best Programs charges 35 euros to translate an A-4 size paper in size 12 font. This is normally around 300 words per page. Send us your resume and/or cover letter by email and we will bill you with Paypal.
- You should mention your academic and work history pertaining only to the internship(s) you are requesting. If you have no actual experience yet, focus on your skills and emphasize your talents. To do this visit the firm´s website and ascertain what skills they will probably want. Before talking with the company, their website should be thoroughly explored.
- Follow a standard hierarchy: your name with contact info, work experience with your current title and company, your previous title and company (with dates), and education. Use chronological order starting from the most recent date. At the end, add a line or two about your personal interests, languages spoken and computer skills.
