I suggest you consult with some of the many references out there for resume and cover letter writing. Your computer might even have templates to use. I know there's no one set style so they vary. Some basics are using plain fonts and make them look attractive so they draw a reviewers attention but are not so flashy that they are distracting. Consistency in formatting such as dates, and punctuation and abbreviations makes reading them easier. Cover letters should be one page mentioning what you're applying for, summarize your qualifications, and request an interview and mention your resume. Write a cover letter specific for each application too. Resumes can vary depending on what you're applying for too. Try looking up some formats and play around with some to see what you find most appealing and represents you. You might want to have multiple resumes in different styles. I'm sure you can find something.

Event Planner

I've been out of work for 2 years due to moving out of state and getting my family situated. In the meantime I have been a Property Manager for my rental properties. I'm extremenly anxious and ready to return to work. My obstacle is a cover letter. I'm having writer's block and am wondering what resources have been used by others in the past.

What’s the difference between a letter of interest and a cover letter?

I’m not sure if these are the same or if one has more value to hiring managers.

Should I include a cover letter for a Cashier job application at Costco?

I’m want to attract Costco hiring managers to my application without seeming like a candidate that can’t follow directions.

Should I use a cover letter to explain my employment gap?

I've been looking for a job for almost a year now but I've been busy with other productive activities that might help me stand out if I can somehow include the info with my resume & application.

Cover letter

I have been in the medical field for 40+ years advancing myself whenever the possibility arose. Now I am applying for receptionist positions and I feel as if my resume shows I'm over qualified. How do I let the perpective employer know I'm not going to jump ship?
