Chapter 18:2 Writing a Cover Letter and Preparing a ResumeIn the past, when it came to writing a cover letter and preparing a resume, most people either ignored the whole process or just put a smile on their face whenever they saw the contents of the application. Today, with the advent of technology and internet, more job seekers are choosing to be online. And this is not really surprising considering that it is the trend of the day.The Internet also has a role to play in preparing a resume. Most job seekers prefer to have one of these on their computer screen. They simply need to glance at it to know how they look like.When it comes to preparing a resume, the better you do the better are you going to be able to find the right target market and the right job for you. And while it may seem like this should be easy, it actually does not. Sometimes, it is just not that easy.The other day, I was listening to an interview and heard the interviewee talking about what he does and I had the chance to ask him what the process of preparing a resume used to be in the old way. He said that people used to go through what they had written as well as what they did not have. Nowadays, the easiest thing to do is just to go online and search for a list of job openings.Although, you might have to pay a little bit for it, it is definitely still cheaper than going back to the old school. Besides, all it takes is a couple of minutes.Then again, if you really want to save time, just go ahead and do it the old way. If it makes you feel better, the same applies to anything else that you may do.For job seekers, being online is the best thing ever. The only thing is that not everyone does it because the costs are too high. It just makes sense if you can save time and money with the help of the internet.
