The success of one’s career depends greatly on the ability to recognise the job-related values that are important to the individual as well as the hiring company. In your resume, you must put forth the strong impression that you are the best option for the companies’ employment needs. Cover letters, when introducing a strong, well prepared resume, should be brief and to the point. Having a collection of your best work available in a portfolio is a great way to not only tell the employer what you are able to do, but also to show them what you have done for others. Going into an interview without preparation is never advisable. Success doesn’t come to you. You go to it.
