I need help with writing a resume and maybe a cover letter?

[The mid-section of your letter should be one or two short paragraphs that make relevant points about your qualifications. You should not summarize your resume! You may list your skills bullet point format here.]

[Your last paragraph should initiate action by explaining what you will do next (e.g., call the employer) or let the reader know how to contact you to set up an interview, by restating your phone number and/or email address. Close by saying “thank you.”]
