Religious Studies concerns the distinctive beliefs and practices, sacred 
literature and cultural expressions of the religious traditions of the 
world. Students explore some of the most creative expressions of the 
human spirit in its responses to personal and cultural concepts of the 
divine. Using a human rights framework and experiential learning,

Cover Letter Writing Guide – 2019-2020 
What is a cover letter?  
A cover letter is a one-page letter used to state your interest in a particular position, why you are a great fit for it, and request 
an interview. In contrast to a personal statement, a cover letter should be focused mostly on how your skills / knowledge / 
experiences relate to the needs for the position (>90%), rather than how the opportunity would benefit you. The cover letter:  
• Should be positive, clear, succinct, error-free and relevant to the requirements of desired position/opportunity 
• Serves as a writing sample so proper formatting, grammar, spelling and punctuation are critical 
• Should motivate and persuade the reader to reach out for an interview to learn more about you 
Is a cover letter required? 
The only time you should not include a cover letter is when a job or internship posting specifically states not to, which is rare. 
Even if the posting does not specifically require one, a cover letter is good way to distinguish yourself from other applicants.  
It is imperative that you tailor each cover letter to the position/opportunity you are seeking. By relating your 
knowledge/experiences to the qualifications of the position, you indicate respect for the organization and the reader’s time. 
Cover Letter Basics 
As professional correspondence, a cover letter needs to conform to an appropriate block style format – left justified and 
single spaced except for a double space between paragraphs. 
• Create a “letterhead template” with your name and contact information. (See sample on page 2.)  
- Use an easy to read font that matches your resume in 11 or 12 point. 
- Set margins to .8 to 1inch wide  
• Use accurate contact information. List an email and phone that you check and use regularly. Make sure you 
have a professional email and voicemail greeting and that you answer your phone professionally. 
• Use a professional salutation: “Dear Dr. Last Name, Mr. ___,  or Ms. ____:” If the posting says “send resumes to 
tdavis@company” or “apply to “HR Director”, visit the organization’s website or search LinkedIn to identify their full 
name. If you still cannot find a name, use “Dear Hiring Manager,” or “Dear Selection Committee,” 
• Vary sentence structure so every sentence doesn’t begin with “I.” 
• Proof, proof, and proof again.  Use grammarly.com or another service if you are not a good proofreader.  
• PDF your documents to preserve formatting in transit (unless application specifically asks for a Word document). 
• Include your cover letter with your resume (in the same attachment or as the body of the email). 
Preparing to Write Your Cover Letter (See also the outline for a cover letter on page 2.) 
• Thoroughly review the position description and take note of top qualifications and preferred ones. 
(If there are terms you don’t understand, check reputable sources online or ask the Career Development Office.) 
• Make a list of times when you gained/demonstrated these qualifications in courses, clubs, internships, etc.  
• Visit the organization’s website to better understand their goals, products/services, staffing structure, etc.  
Don’ts: 
• Don’t mention any experience you feel you are lacking. 
• Avoid overused phrases/words like “passion”, “at your earliest convenience” or “I desire to join your team.” 
• Avoid exclamation marks, humor, slang, exaggeration, abbreviations or smiley faces.

Company/Organization Name

City, ST Zip Code 
 
Dear Dr./Mr./Ms. Last name, or Dear Hiring Manager, or Dear Selection Committee, 
 
Introductory Paragraph #1:  (3-4 sentences) 
• State Position or Opportunity you are applying for and how you learned of it (e.g. Professor ____, former intern, 
Agnes Scott jobs board, etc.) 
o Note: Marketing, communications and writing positions often value a creative, but still relevant, opening. 
For example, if the role is to be part of a sales team, the applicant might open with something about their 
competitive spirit or history in team sports. 
• Briefly state why you are interested in this position. 
• State top 2-3 reasons you are a good fit, based on the requirements for the position/opportunity (your Topic 
Sentence) 
 
Supporting Paragraph #2:  (5-6 sentences) 
• Support your topic sentence by highlighting 2-3 of your best examples of academic, campus/service or 
internship/work experience; explain how they relate to the main requirements of position to which you are applying. 
• Also describe any skills, knowledge or experience you have that relates to the employer’s preferred qualification(s) 
for the position. 
o Note: Elaborate on, as opposed to repeat, details from your resume. 
 
Closing paragraph #3:  (3-4 sentences)  
• Restate your interest in the position. 
o Note: It is most effective to state a reason that is beneficial to both parties. For example, instead of “I 
believe this job will be good experience for my application for graduate school”, you could say “I am 
interested in further developing my experience in applied math.” 
• Indicate your resume is attached for their review (and any other materials they require.)  
• Encourage them to reach out to you with questions or to arrange an interview.  
• Express thanks for their consideration. 
 
Sincerely,  
 
 
Your First and Last Name

Resume/CV Writing Guide – 2019-2020 
A well-crafted, targeted resume can open doors and give you an edge when applying for internships, jobs, scholars 
programs and other activities. The tips provided in this guide are to make your resume appealing and easily 
readable when printed or viewed/scanned digitally by recruiters or application software. Besides using this guide, 
you may view student resume samples posted in Buttrick G-26. 
CONSISTENT, PLEASANT FORMATTING: Experts say that recruiters spend about 10 seconds scanning a resume 
before deciding whether to read it closely. For online applications, a computer scans and rates your resume. 
Therefore, your resume needs 1-column formatting, white space, and compelling content. 
We recommend that you use one of Agnes Scott’s downloadable templates (see example at end of this guide; all 
templates are on our website). If you choose not to use a template, adhere to the formatting guidelines below: 
• Margins: .8” to 1” 
• Length: Resumes - one page; CVs are longer and require more sections (see below under Section Titles) 
• Font: All black, easy-to-read/scan font like Calibri, Arial, Arial Narrow,  or Georgia  
• Font Size: 10-12 point for body; 14-18 point for your name (centered or left justified, NOT in header) 
• Bold: Use sparingly and consistently to emphasize school/organization names  
• Italics: Use sparingly and consistently to emphasize position titles and your intended degree 
• Tables/columns/text boxes/headers/footers/underlining/graphics/symbols/colors: Avoid all of these; 
they are either too informal or are unreadable by online application software 
 
• Bullets: Use round or square solid, black bullets; begin with verb; avoid personal pronouns: “I”, “we”; etc. 
PROFESSIONAL, ACCURATE CONTACT INFORMATION: Use an appropriate email address (student or other) and 
phone number with a professional voicemail message. Make sure you check them regularly and answer the phone 
professionally. Addresses are not needed on a resume except for federal and some academic applications.  
MEANINGFUL SECTION TITLES: Organize your information into logical categories. Standard resume sections are: 
EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE, LEADERSHIP (or CAMPUS & COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT), and SKILLS. Employers no 
longer prefer an Objective on a resume; your cover letter states your internship/job objective.   
*CVs: If you’re a junior/senior pursuing research positions or grad school, you may extend the document to two 
pages, if you have significant LAB/RESEARCH EXPERIENCE, PRESENTATIONS, or PUBLICATIONS. Add section titles.  
Education:  
• List the full name of the degree you are pursuing:  Bachelor of Arts/Science in Major (if decided) 
• GPA: Include if 3.0 or above; List Major GPA instead if it is higher 
• Relevant Coursework: List names of high level courses (e.g. Econometrics for Econ majors) or elective 
coursework you have taken/are taking related to position you are seeking; separate courses with commas 
• Global Journeys/Study Abroad: Describe topics you're studying/studied and what you’re doing/did on trip 
• High School: Remove by the end of your sophomore year, unless you graduated from a top high school in 
the city where you are searching for a position 
Experience (in many forms): Relevant experience comes from many situations including internships (both paid 
and unpaid) and part-time, summer, and work-study jobs. Review jobs/internships of interest. In your resume, 
include recent experiences that best showcase how your strengths align with these positions’ requirements. 
List positions you hold/held in reverse chronological order (by end date), beginning with the current or 
most recent position. Use 2-4 bullets per position to make it easy for the reader to scan the resume.  
  
• Start each bullet with an action verb (see attached list) and describe what you did/do, for whom and why, 
including the outcome. Do NOT begin bullets with “Responsible for” or “Duties included.” 
• For current positions, use “I” form of the present tense verb. Use past tense if you’re no longer in the role.  
• Do not use personal pronouns (I, my, our, etc.) Avoid informal language, slang, and unfamiliar acronyms.  
• Each bullet point must be clear, truthful, and comprehensive. Provide impressive details as opposed to 
vague descriptions; however, try to not to exceed 2 lines per bullet.  
• Think of SAR: each bullet point should describe a specific Situation, the Action(s) you took, and the Results 
you achieved. Examples: 
o Research and organize information on 100+ Metro Atlanta companies’ hiring plans and practices 
to create directory of entry level job opportunities for students 
o Selected by faculty to tutor peers in 200-level Chemistry and Biology courses for four hours per 
week; trained to identify learning challenges and teach strategies for improved retention  
o Oversaw team of six orientation leaders to create and execute schedule of student bonding 
activities for first-year students, improving program satisfaction ratings by 10% over previous year 
• Under each position, list most impressive/relevant bullet first. Save “basic” tasks for last bullet or omit. 
Leadership (or Campus & Community Involvement): Employers like to see students involved on and off-campus.  
List any college-level leadership positions you held and describe your accomplishments in each role. Also list any 
activities that may not have involved leadership but show dedication and accomplishment.  
• Rather than stating the purpose of the club, student government, or other group in the bullets, describe 
ways you specifically have positively impacted its success or your campus/local community. Examples: 
o Collaborate with the executive board to plan campus-wide educational events such as…. 
o Engage children from low income families for 2 hours each week in reading and math activities  
o Train year-round with 23 team members and compete in 7 games per month during fall season 
o Research and write 2-3 world news articles per month to be published on The Profile’s website 
o Volunteer several times each semester to support local nonprofits by…  
Skills: Only include hard, testable skills such as specific software, language or lab proficiencies.  
KEY, INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC WORDS: Keywords are typically nouns used by application software to sort/score digital 
resumes. Recruiters, human resources staff and hiring managers also look for keywords as they scan resumes. 
Identify key words by reading postings of desired jobs/internships. Use them in your resume, where genuine. 
REFERENCES: Unless requested, do NOT include references or state “References Available Upon Request.” 
• If asked to submit references, list names on a separate page with contact information and how they know 
you. Label the page with your name and contact info in case it becomes separated from your resume.   
• Ask supervisors, professors or community leaders who can speak to your dedication, integrity, and ability.  
PROFESSIONAL PRESENTATION: Spell check, grammar check, and PROOF. Have someone you trust proof. To 
preserve formatting, save your resume as a PDF before sending. Don’t send your resume in Word unless directed. 
If offering your resume in person, print or copy on ≥ 20 lb weight white or off-white paper. 
For resume review (usually in 5 business days), upload your resume to: agnesscott.joinhandshake.com/login or 
come to office hours during the school year: Wednesdays & Thursdays 2:00-4:00pm in Buttrick G-26.
