You might see a hurdle to leap over. Or a hoop to jump through. Or a barrier to knock down. That is how many people think of resumes, application forms, cover letters, and interviews. But you do not have to think of them that way. They are not ways to keep you from a job; they are ways for you to show an employer what you know and what you can do. After all, you are going to get a job. It is just a question of which one. Employers want to hire people who can do the job. To learn who these people are, they use resumes, application forms, written tests, performance tests, medical examinations, and interviews. You can use each of these different evaluation procedures to your advantage. You might not be able to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, but at least you can show what a good ear you have.
Whether writing a covering letter or critiquing your resume, imagine you are in the employer's position and need to find a well skilled, reliable staff member who will fit in with the rest of the team. Employers would see you as someone who will save them time and money, as you are bound to be more efficient than someone who doesn’t know how to work on computers.
