Before agreeing to an interview, the employer first needs to be convinced that you are a great candidate for the position. This is where your resume is an essential marketing tool. Your skills, experience, and writing ability will be demonstrated to an employer. It's also important for your spelling and grammar to be impeccable.

In your Cover Letter, you should be creative, bold, and humorous but always be yourself. Nothing impresses an employer more than your knowledge of them or the company. Aside from keying in on something that will make your cover letter stand out, you should also find some pertinent information about the company. Focus on the positive.

Employers use the resume process to narrow their selection. They will choose the best of the best as perceived by what is in your resume. Your resume is your only initial sales tool to impress the employer enough to give you an interview. As the bad clich© goes You can only make a first impression once.

Your need to make sure that your resume is as strong and positive as possible. If your resume is poorly organized and haphazardly written, then this will demonstrate to the employer that you are not serious about yourself and you are probably not going to be an asset to the company if you are not serious about yourself.

There are several questions going through the minds of the employer.

Can you solve problems?
What are your weaknesses and strengths?
What are the benefits of hiring you over someone else?
Will you be able to fit into the company?
Will you have a strong commitment to your job?
How independent are you and can you be a team player?
Will you be able to learn fast?

Doing your homework about the company, its goals, history, products, and so on is something you need to remember. By applying this information, you can dramatically stand out with a creative cover letter. Read the company's website, brochures, do a Google search, and look at competitors in order to find information about the company. There's tons of good information out there if you look.

If you submit a boilerplate cover letter and boring resume, you find yourself at the bottom of the resume pile.
