Having a mind blank!

How do you get the rounded grey background behind the headings on word?

Thanks

Thanks!

I’m no expert on resumes and cover letters, but yes, there is a difference.

I consider what you put on the resume summary as the “what” of who you are and what you do. Very facts based.

Then I consider the cover letter the “who” of who you are and what you do. More personal and natural. What you can bring to the studio or company. Other tidbits about your work habits that you wouldn’t put on the resume. Why they should hire you. That sort of thing.

At least that’s my take on it. Hope that helps.

I love reading your blog. It’s very educational. I just have a couple of questions. Is the Summary on the resume different than the cover letter that’s needed to be passed along with the resume? If it is, what’s the difference between them?

Thanks.

thanks for your response.

I don’t send my resume out to just whoever. I use it for potential work. And I haven’t a clue who you are. Hope you understand.

Well, you can always tweak your resume for the next batch. I really like the two columns too. I can’t take credit…I saw it somewhere else. But it works great.

One more post in this series early next week! Glad you’re enjoying them.
