What do you think is most important to highlight?

Question

in your cover letters that will help an employer get a better idea of you as a prospective employee and person?

Answer 1

If it is a position for the Federal Gov., or University then a person would use a curriculum vitae that highlights specific things for those institutions. Otherwise, look at what the employer is looking for in their job description and compose a resume that would highlight those specific qualifications. I would suggest most people use a hybrid. It's the most flexible format and allows the person to focus on actual work experience for the employer to see easily.

Answer 3

Highlight those features that the employers are looking for and that you feel will best represent to that position you are applying for.

Answer 5
