Resumes and cover letters can often incude other realtable skills to the position being applyed for.
I encourage student to seek jobs they are passionate about. Its important that students focus on finding the right job for them. You should work in a field that you like so it does not feel like a job. You should not just focus on pay but on the actual job description. Students should do their research and focus on their needs and wants.
Remembering how to build an effective resume, sometime depends on the student's other skills set that might not seem relative to the specific job.
Customer service is always a useful experiance in any job dealing with clients and or the public.
The entire institution is responsible for career outcomes.
I agree different Cover Letter styles based on company culture and position you are seeking can be effective.
Know your audience when writing your resume. A small company may have a manger who has many responsibilities and less time to read resumes than an HR professional in a larger organization. Keep your resume concise and easy to understand on a quick read. Bullet point information relative to the position.
It reassures my student resume advice. For the most part I have been using these techniques when advising students and the example I give them to follow.
