RÉSUMÉS, COVER LETTERS, AND
PERSONAL STATEMENTS

Assignment (Option 1): Résumé and Cover Letter for Psychology Job
Posting (click to expand/reduce)

For this Assignment, you will create a résumé and a cover letter for the job posting you found in this
week’s Discussion. A résumé contains important information about your education, work experience,
skills, and accomplishments. A cover letter provides an opportunity to convey your interest in a job
and explain why you are the best fit, based on the information in your résumé. The cover letter may
be the single most important piece of information you share with employers, and it says a lot about
your writing style: Is it organized? Does it make sense? Is it concise, or does it contain rambling
language?

Even though you may not be ready to apply to the job posting you found just yet, it is important to
always have a current working résumé that you update periodically as you gain additional experience,
education, and skills. Once you are ready to apply to jobs, it is necessary to customize your résumé
and cover letter for each job posting. This means presenting your education, experience, and skills in
a way that closely aligns with specific duties and required qualifications listed in the job posting.
Fortunately, the Psychology Career Hub offers a number of resources that can help you create a
customized résumé and cover letter for any job posting of interest to you.

resume and cover letter or personal statement, like all other work at Walden, the
documents this week must be written in your own words and reflect your unique personal
experiences and goals. You may not copy content from other sources.

Assignment (Option 2): Résumé and Personal Statement for Graduate
School (click to expand/reduce)

For this Assignment, you will create a résumé and a personal statement for the graduate program you
found for this week’s Discussion. A résumé contains important information about your education, work
experience, skills, and accomplishments. It is important to always have a current working résumé and
update it periodically as you gain additional experience, education, and skills. As graduate school
entrance committees read your résumé, they will look for how your experience, education, and skills
apply to their program. Thus, you must customize your résumé for the graduate program, highlighting
how your education, experience, and skills are relevant to the program.

The primary purpose of the personal statement is to summarize your relevant experience and convey
your interest and fit for the graduate program. A personal statement for graduate school application
serves as your introduction to the graduate school admissions committee; it also describes your
interests in the field and explains why you have selected the program. In other words, you need to do
your research on the program and its faculty members and make a case for why you are a good
candidate for their program.
