My name is Emma, and in today's video I am going
to talk to you about cover letters and resumes.

So, if you are going to be
looking for a job soon...

Maybe you're new to Canada, or England, or the
USA, or new to an English-speaking country

and you're looking for a job or you will be
looking for a job soon, this video can really

Cover letters and resumes really are
different in different parts of the world.

So there's a lot of different cultural parts
that you need to know when you're writing

a cover letter or resume, and in this video I'm
going to talk about the cultural aspects of both.

So, this video you're going to learn more of
an overview about cover letters and resumes,

what their purpose is, and the type
of information we include on them.

Okay, so a cover letter and a resume are two different
documents that have very different formats.

They look very differently
from one another.

A cover letter is a letter format, whereas a
resume has its own special format, but there

are certain things that are
common or the same for both.

One of the things that's common for both a
cover letter and a resume is their purpose.

The purpose of a cover letter and resume is
to help you get an interview for a job, or

So, when you think about a cover letter or
a resume, imagine a company is asking you:

Your cover letter and your
resume are the answer to this.

They tell employers about
your amazing skills.

Maybe you know CPR, maybe you're great when
it comes to computers, maybe you speak four

They talk about your abilities, they talk about
your experience, your education experience,

your work experience, you know, maybe some
other organizations you're a part of and the

experiences you had there, and they also talk
about your accomplishments, your successes.

Maybe at this company you increased sales,
maybe you won a customer service award because

you're so great when it comes
to talking to customers.

So your resume and cover letter show all these
great things about you, and they answer the

So, a lot of people want to know: "Do I
need both a cover letter and a resume?

Can I just give my resume
or just my cover letter?"

For most jobs you will need
at the very least a resume.

This is one of the most important things you
give when you're applying for a job, and then

for a lot of jobs they also
will want a cover letter.

Well, when you apply to the job,
look at the job advertisement.

Usually in the advertisement they say if they
want just a resume, or if they want a cover

If you don't know and you can't find the
information, it's a good idea to send both.

A lot of people want to know: "Can I reuse my
resume and cover letter for each job I apply for?

Writing cover letters and resumes are a lot
of work, so can I just give the same cover

letter and resume to everybody,
and every job I apply for?"

In general, that's not a good idea, and the
reason is usually companies can tell that

they're getting the same resume and cover
letter as other companies, because you're

not saying specific things about how your skills
match this company's skills or this company's...

So as a result, it's always the best idea
to write a different cover letter for each

I know that's a lot of work,
but you will be more likely...

You're more likely to get the job if you do
a good job on your cover letter instead of

just sending everyone the same ones,
and it's the same with resumes.

You know, different jobs you might want to
highlight or talk about different things on

If you're applying to this company, maybe
you'll talk about a certain work experience,

whereas this company maybe you'll talk
about a different work experience.

So very important to write your cover
letter and your resume for each job.

So now what we're going to do is we're going
to talk more about the information that you

will include in cover
letters and resumes.

Okay, so what kind of things should we
include in our cover letters and resumes?

I'm going to ask you some questions, because
cover letters and resumes are very cultural.

So maybe you would include certain things
in your country, but maybe if you come to

Canada, or the USA, or England, cover letters
and resumes might be very different.

So let's look at some ideas, and we're going
to talk about whether or not we would include

Okay, so some years ago I was in
a pie-eating contest and I won.

That's actually not true, but imagine if I
was in a pie-eating contest and I won the

Should I include this in
my resume or cover letter?

Unless the job is for, you know, a pie-eating
contest profession, which does not exist,

you would not include this in
your cover letter or resume.

Your accomplishments should have to do with
the job you're applying for, or they should,

you know, have to do with work, not so
much something like a pie-eating contest.

So this is no, we would
not include that.

Marriage, you know, you're single or you're
married, would you include this in your cover
