Resume and Cover Letter

You will create a resume and cover letter that communicates your skills, qualities, and ambitions. The documents must be perfect with respect to spelling, grammar, syntax, diction, and punctuation. This assignment will be marked down for errors in these areas. Proofread carefully. Hiring managers regularly dismiss applicants with typos in their communications.
