A well-written business analyst cover letter is a document that skillfully complements your resume and establishes you as a must-see candidate.

Education Professionals Require Professional Resumes
By Emily Sanderson

With our population increasing each year, schools are in desperate need of teachers. If you are looking into going into a teaching profession, then you must be aware of the requirement of professional resumes. Make sure you know what fields you seek to pursue. The United States is making cutbacks in the education system in areas such as art, journalism, music and physical education. Because of this, wealthy parents are enrolling their students in afterschool activities, which are included in private school institutions. If you are planning to go in this direction, remember that you will need at least 3-5 years teaching experience and reliable recommendations. However, if you are thinking about going in a different direction with your career, begin thinking about what experience you are going to include and what your objective will be. If you feel you need help, ResumeApple's writers have many resources to help you create a resume that will help you get that teaching position you have been seeking.

By Hardeep Singh Arora

Once your resume has been created, formatted, and printed to your satisfaction, the next and final step before sending out your resume is to write a cover letter.

''Green-Collar'' Professionals Need Competitive Resumes
By Emily Sanderson

The world seems to be geared to the ''going green'' phase and helping us be more eco-friendly. Millions of jobs were created in the environmental industry in 2005. Because so many are concerned about global warming, more and more job opportunities are available. Those who are preparing to go into this field, should provide resumes that should compete with the others. If your job experience is quite a few years ago, you may want to use a functional format, which allows your work and experience to be in two different sections. This allows you to focus your experience into bullets that will highlight your strengths that are applicable to the job. Also, employers have a lot of respect for those who have well written resumes, without any grammatical or spelling errors. Presenting yourself through your resume is extremely important and is often the first impression your potential employer has of you.


10 Tips for Setting Yourself Apart from Other Job Candidates
By Lancelot Larsen

During the 2004 Summer Olympics, there was a swim meet that Michael Phelps won. To the naked eye it looked like one or two other swimmers reached the end of the pool at the same time. Although it could not be clearly seen with all the water and hands flashing about, one finger hit the gizmo one second — if that — sooner than the others. But who could tell? The trust was in the power of the gizmo itself.
