Resume/Cover Letter Upload Instructions

• Create a two-page document with your cover letter on the first page and your resume on the second page. The resume can be tailored as you see fit; it does not have to be identical to the resume(s) you uploaded for the Resume Book.

HINT: At the end of your cover letter, insert a page break (Control+Enter), then copy and paste your resume. Alternatively, you can insert a page break at the beginning of your resume document and compose the cover letter on the blank page that is created.

NOTE: Not all companies require a cover letter, but the CDO strongly recommends that you submit a cover letter with every
resume.

• Log onto the Career Center (http://cdocic.som.yale.edu) using your Login ID and password. The Login ID for this system is not identical to your NetID.
