A resume is a tool to get you to the point of an interview or an informal meeting where you can better display, qualify and represent your skills, experiences and attributes. Your resume is the first stage in a process that can influence your life and the lives of those around you. This is not something to be taken lightly.

However, the objective will always remain the same.

A cover note should always be personalized to the position you’re applying for, by doing so you have shown your recruitment consultant you are putting in an effort to give your application the best chance it can have, and if it is good many recruiters will use this information when representing you to their clients.
