Resumes and Cover Letters | Springfield College

Weather Alert

With the impending winter storm expected to bring ice and snow during both the morning and afternoon commutes, the Springfield College main campus will operate remotely on Thursday, February 6, 2025 to keep our community safe and allow our facilities and campus safety staff to clear parking lots, sidewalks, and to prepare the campus to reopen on Friday. 

The Campus Union, Dunkin, and The Table @Cheney will maintain their normal hours of operation; Starbucks will be closed. The Wellness Center will be open from 9 a.m.-10 p.m.; there will be no Group Exercise classes. The Counseling Center and the Health Center will be closed and not available for walk-in appointments. Please contact Public Safety at (413) 748-5555 for counseling or medical emergencies.

The impact of job search correspondence cannot be understated. How you represent yourself on "paper" has a tremendous impact on your chances for being selected for an internship or job. An effective resume and cover letter are likely to form a positive first impression to an employer, resulting in a competitive advantage.

Other Letters

All correspondence develops an impression; even a brief email makes an impact. A timely and well-organized thank you letter following an interview can dramatically sway the employer's deliberations in your favor.
