RESUMES AND COVER LETTERS
Create a Strong Resume
Aresume is a concise, informative summary
of your abilities, education, and experience.
It should highlight your strongest assets and skills,
and diferentiate you from other candidates seeking
similar positions. Although it alone won’t get you
a job or internship, a good resume is an important
factor in obtaining an interview.
Tailor your resume to the type of position you’re
seeking. Tis doesn’t mean that all of your experi-
ences must relate directly, but your resume should
refect the types of skills the employer would value.
RESUME TIPS
RESUME LANGUAGE SHOULD BE:
• Specifc rather than general
• Active rather than passive
• Written to express not impress
• Articulate rather than“fowery”
• Fact-based (quantify and qualify)
• Written for people who scan quickly
DON’T:
• Use personal pronouns (such as I)
• Abbreviate
• Use a narrative style
• Use slang or colloquialisms
• Include a picture
• Include age or gender
• List references
• Start each line with a date
GETTING STARTED
Draf a resume using one of the templates on the MCS website.

• Get advice via drop-ins. Monday-Friday, 1:00-4:00pm - ask quick
career-related questions and have an advisor review your resume.
• Look for industry specifc resume review clinics, listed on our
events calendar in employer events.
TOP 6 RESUME MISTAKES:
1. Spelling and grammar errors
2. Missing email and phone information
3. Using passive language instead of“action”words
4. Not well organized, concise, or easy to skim
5. Not demonstrating results
6. Too long
DO:

space
• Use consistent spacing, underlining, italics, bold,
and capitalization for emphasis
• List headings (such as Experience) in order of
importance
• Within headings, list information in reverse chron-
ological order (most recent frst)

10. RESUMES AND COVER LETTERS
Sample Cover Letter
September 1, 2023
Morgan Smith
Director of Communications
Jumpstart
308 Congress Street, 6th
Floor
Boston, MA 02110
Dear Morgan Smith:
I am a senior at Harvard College studying History and Literature. I am writing to apply for the
Marketing and Communications position at Jumpstart posted in Harvard’s Crimson Careers
database. I'm very excited about the field of education, and would welcome the opportunity to
bring my strong communication skills, creativity, and marketing experience to your growing
team.
Jumpstart's commitment to early education for every child is of particular interest to me because
of my passion for youth development. This past summer, I worked as a senior counselor in the
Summer Urban Program, which is dedicated to preventing summer learning loss for children in
the Boston and Cambridge area. I designed and taught fun, interactive classes to a group of 10
fifth graders, and planned and led local field trips and workshops daily with a junior counselor.
Throughout the summer, I consistently strived to create math, science, and reading lessons and
activities that were engaging and tailored to my students' needs.
Additionally, in my role as the Director of Marketing for the Social Innovation Collaborative, I
led our team in creating a social media strategy to drive our member recruitment efforts and
promote our programs and events on platforms including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
With so many competing events on campus each day, I had to continually be creative in my
approach to developing and delivering content that would be compelling and effective. As a
result of my efforts, our group experienced a 20% increase in our membership base and a 15%
increase in our social media engagement. I’m excited at the prospect of bringing the skills I
developed through this experience to the Marketing and Communications role at Jumpstart.
Thank you for your consideration. I very much look forward to the opportunity to speak with you
in person about my interest in this position.
Sincerely,
Alex Crimson
