Hi Konig
Engineering resumes are quite different from traditional resumes. You want to make sure
that what you use is appropriate. Be sure to include a good statement of your intentions,
a very content rich summary which will give the reader a clear picture of what you can do
in 20 seconds and a chronology. Also make sure that you customize the resume for the job
you are applying for. You may chose to do it yourself or if you are not good at writing
you may consider a professional service. But make sure they know how to create a
good engineering resume.
Finally a good and short cover letter is key. The cover letter should get the reader interested
in you enough to read the resume. Most readers will make a decision to spend time on you
within 15 seconds so the cover letter is very important.
Best of luck to you.

Writing a cover letter often seems like a particularly daunting task. However, if you take it one step at a time, you'll soon be an expert at writing cover letters to send with your resume.
A cover letter typically accompanies each resume you send out. Your cover letter may make the difference between obtaining a job interview and having your resume ignored, so it makes good sense to devote the necessary time and effort to writing effective cover letters.
A cover letter should complement, not duplicate, your resume. Its purpose is to interpret the data-oriented, factual resume and add a personal touch. A cover letter is often your earliest written contact with a potential employer, creating a critical first impression.
There are three general types of cover letters:
The application letter which responds to a known job opening
The prospecting letter which inquires about possible positions
The networking letter which requests information and assistance in your job search
Your cover letter should be designed specifically for each purpose outlined above as well as for each position you seek. Do not design a form letter and send it to every potential employer (you know what you do with junk mail!).
Effective cover letters explain the reasons for your interest in the specific organization and identify your most relevant skills or experiences (remember, relevance is determined by the employer's self-interest). They should express a high level of interest and knowledge about the position.
