Attachments along with a resume

Are there any attachments that can accompany your resume? Or, is it all alone fighting to secure an interview for you? Looks like it.

Covering letter

Not necessary, but a good idea.If your resume is simple and straightforward, you may not need a cover letter.

On the other hand, if you would like to “talk to” the recruiter before the selection process starts, you do this through cover letter. You can include certain information that does not belong in a resume in a cover letter.Remember to make this sound and look like a letter: address it to a person, mention clearly the position you’re applying for, tell him/ her about how you heard about the opportunity, include any explanation that can’t fit in a resume, include your contact information and address and sign it.

Is that so info

Avoid any information that makes the recruiter think “Is that so?”, “really?” or “No kidding!” This includes but is not limited to “references available upon request”, “available for an interview” or “send an email for any clarifications”. These are all understood by default and can earn you a “smart ass” tag. Believe me, you don’t want that.
