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

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

I'll take a look, I'm good with resumes and cover letters.. :)
