Demonstrate how your experiences (or groups of experiences) relate to the position – connect roles/skills you have used in the past with the employer’s needs

Mapping It Out

Group an employer's needs into categories - they might be specified technical skills/qualifications, or key transferrable skills, such as: communication, organization, time management, leadership, and analytical skills.

Consider how your experiences connect with these categories. Imagine the perspective of the reader - what is the most easily understandable way to bring your experiences and skills together? Here are some examples:

Match the font style and size of your resume and use proper business letter layout

Read it out loud – you will be surprised at the typos and awkward grammar that this practice uncovers
