Would anyone be able to kindly critique my cover letter and resume? please

Published

Hello all,

I'm a little confused as to this whole landing a nursing job thing :uhoh3: I was told my initial cover letter and resume were very generic...that it didn't set me apart or have enough "me" in it.

So, with the help of something I tweaked it... and highlighted aspects of my final clinical rotation- which I really enjoyed.

The issue I'm having is... while I think my new cover letter and that sounds better... I am not getting any call backs...

With the "generic" one I at least received 2.

So right now I am beyond confused and just wondering if anyone would be able to give me a hand and critique mine?

Thank you so much

I'm an RPN grad (Ontario, Canada)

Why don't you post the body of your letter here, without identifiers? Maybe you'll get some comments that way. There are a lot of people in the same boat working on their own documents, but maybe you can help each other.

i find that cover letters are tricky. everyone will give you different advice about what should be on it.

all I can say is, keep it SHORT. people will not take the time to read a novel.

just state why you're interested in the position (that could be where you talk about you a little), and a statement or two about why you're qualified.

good luck
