Job search guides
A resume rarely travels alone. Applications ask for cover letters, recruiters look you up on LinkedIn, and some roles invite work samples or a short video. The guides in this section cover the material around the resume, with a focus on what hiring managers read.
The cover letter guide explains when a letter is worth sending and what goes in each paragraph. The LinkedIn profile checklist covers the settings and sections recruiters see first, including the Open to Work options. For roles where a sample of your work says more than a bullet point, the article on video and portfolio attachments sorts the fields where media helps from the ones where it hurts.
