Resume vs. Cover Letter: the Rhetoric of the Design
A highlight of some of the key aspects concerning the design of the two types of documents.
Resume Samples: Poor and Mixed Design.
Here’re some resume samples that are mostly poorly designed. However, some are relatively better designed than others.
Resume Samples: Good Design.
Here’re some resume samples of relatively good design. Note, though, that no resume is perfect, and you can always find some inadequacies in design.
Sample Cover Letter 1: Poor Design
This first letter is vague, makes general claims about his qualifications, and provides no specific details to support his claims.
Sample Cover Letter 2: Better Design
This second letter is a revision of the first one. It’s relatively more specific, more on the target, and provides concrete support for his claims about his credentials.
Letter Openings and Closings: Good and Bad
This document contains some sample letter openings and closings. Some are bood, and some are bad. Use your own judgment to see which one might work and which one might not.
