Having completed a resume and cover letter previously, I only had to update it to reflect the job for which I am applying. The only remaining questions I really have are: I think that the second paragraph of my cover letter may be a little too lengthy. I also was wondering if my objective in my resume sounded all right. The wording felt a little off to me, but I may be wrong.
I was also a little curious about the layout of my resume. I used this specific layout because we learned how to do this in an education class. I wasn’t sure if different fields have different resume formats. For example, I have two different experience sections: relevant experience (like my methods and student teaching) and my related experience (volunteer hours, field experience hours, etc). I wasn’t sure if that was acceptable for this assignment or not.
I think the two different experience sections allow the employers to see the different type of work you can do. I think because the work included in each section is pertains to possibly things completed for your major and things outside your major give the employer more to look at.
