Effective Management Toolkit: Creating a Cover Letter and Resume that Sells

When looking for a job, one way to add a personal touch is by including a cover letter with your resume.

Although some people feel a cover letter is optional, many experts advise applicants never to submit a resume without one. Katherine Mehr speaks with Sue Morem, Founder of Go For the Edge! about how to effectively create a cover letter and resume that will be attractive to potential employers.
