Resumes and Cover Letters

  • Galadriel's Resume - WCU Pro Writing Student applying to writing/editing jobs
  • Sylvia's Resume - Cover Letter and Resume for a Sales Position from a Biology major (good targeting of skills to advertised position)

These online resumes show you what people with BA's in English have done. They are not all exemplary resumes (many have formatting and writing problems), but they do provide a broad spectrum of examples, and we can discuss strengths and weaknesses in class.

Grad/Prof School Aplications

  • OWL Writing a Personal Statement - a good resource from the Online Writing Lab at Purdue. It includes a couple of sample statements.
  • MLS Personal Statement (pdf) - This is a good personal statement from an undergraduate who is applying to a Master's of Library Science program. It is a bit short, because the application had a word limit, but it is humorous and personable while remaining professional.
