The Difference Between Resumes and Cover Letters

The Difference Between Resumes and Cover LettersThere are a lot of different types of resumes. Each resume has their own special and unique traits. Now that you have a resume, you have to choose the best one for your job hunting.One common resume is the all important cover letter. But there are two main types of resumes that apply to each type of employer. So lets take a look at both.The all-important resume is what the employers are looking for. And the only way to make sure that you get noticed is to include relevant skills, experiences, and qualities in your resume. Don't try to sell yourself or give away any specialties, but write your resume in such a way that it will show the employer why you are the best candidate for the job.But it's not just about writing a good resume. It's also about crafting a catchy cover letter that makes you stand out from the crowd. And the one that gets you noticed is going to be the one that is sent out. So to be remembered by the hiring manager, yo ur cover letter has to be well crafted and professional.The second type of resume is the one that you will receive along with the job application. The great thing about this type of resume is that you don't have to write a resume and then send it out. You simply send your resume and add a cover letter that explains how you would benefit the company and why you would make a good employee.The real secret here is that you do need to send out the cover letter. But as soon as you get the submission form, do add a personal statement that explains what your dream job is, how you are going to benefit the company, and why you should be hired. This allows you to demonstrate how you can benefit the company and not just yourself. By including a professional piece of cover letter along with your resume, you can now showcase your talents and skills to the world.So now that you know the difference between resume and cover letter, you can now start on your job hunting. No matter what type of resume you choose, it is vital that you make it stand out from the rest.

Uber Drivers Make Sure to Opt Out of Arbitration Provisions

Uber Drivers Make Sure to Opt Out of Arbitration Provisions On Friday, traditionally the slowest day of the news cycle, Uber sent out a new agreement to its drivers that asks them to waive their right to a lawsuit and agree to arbitration disputes instead. Buried deep at the end of the 21-page documentâ€"which spans approximately 4,500 wordsâ€"is an opt-out procedure that gives drivers some recourse to keep control of their destiny. Within 30 days of signing the new agreement, the drivers can send an email to “optout@uber.com” with their “name and intent to opt out of this Arbitration Provision” or send a letter. Otherwise you’re locked in. Uber says it it will not penalize drivers who opt out. This new agreement comes on the heels of a court decision Wednesday that ruled Uber drivers who didn’t opt out of the arbitration provision could still participate in class action lawsuits. With the update Friday, the company has re-done their language to make the new provision enforceable, which could limit the size of the existing class action, and limit their damages. Asking people to waive their traditional legal recourse and lock them into arbitration should something go wrong has been a growing problem of late, which the New York Times described in vigorous detail in a three-part series this fall.
