Resumes and cover letters should not be focused on you!!!

They should be focused on the employer's needs. Your resume and cover letter should show an employer how you will bring value and fill a need for them.

Keeping this idea in your mind as you develop and create your own package will greatly improve your resume and cover letter effectiveness.

You need resume and cover letter help if your current resume reads like a list of generic tasks, such as:
