Since you are not sending your resume randomly, I don’t think one is necessary. But if you would like to have a more personal tone to your resume you can include one. The cover letter should include your motivation for the job and why you are qualified, without re-stating what is in your resume.

each resume should be custom for the job you are applying for.

generally, you should include your

name address phone# email

major GPA minor GPA

relevant work experience

activities in school

the experience section should list about 3 bullet points each using adjectives about how your experiences help you to be prepared for the job you are applying for.

never make it more than 1 page

and definately include a cover letter. another name for this is “letter of intent” basically what makes you a good candidate for the job.
