Here is my situation. Worked for over 30 in the mental health field with children. Got hurt and had to go out on worker's compensation. Was forced to retire when job threatened to terminate me if I didn't return to work in the same physical capacity as before the accident. Now worker's comp is telling me to look for employment since I still have an open case with them. Didn't know how to write a resume. Needed one because you can no longer just walk in anywhere and fill out an application for employment. Everyone wants a resume and now I find out some want a cover letter too. Was very stressed and feeling hopeless for awhile. All this is new to me. I"ve worked so long on my former job and I didn't need a resume or cover letter. Trying to remain positive during this learning process.
Hi eugenia richardson - Im sorry to hear about your injury and your former employer forcing you out. I have some good news for you, though! If you take the time to full out the rest of your profile with everything you can include on it, you'll be able to export it as a PDF and use it as a resume! It formats everything for you, and makes it look very professional and easy to read for employers.
As for writing a cover letter, check out this conversation on cover letter tips. Additionally, Ashley Wilson wrote a great conversation that walks you through what each paragraph should talk about.
This should definitely help you. I know it can be overwhelming, but the Jobcase community is here for you!! Best of luck Eugenia, you have got this!!
what i did in your case . got someone from even NYU JUNIOR OR SENIOR IN ANY COLLEGE STUDYING OR MAJORING IN WRITING TO WRITE ME A KILLER RESUME. very cheap or donation base also i would give them a high recommendation in my case from my own business but any great reference of how they help you would suffice. GET CREATIVE libraries also have people that help you do resumes and cover letters and upgrades plus job listings and job fairs thier as well . dont dwell on your current or past problems or skills . GOD IS GOOD JUST BE PRO ACTIVE AND PERSISTENT HELP WILL COME FOR SURE.
