Critical Thinking
1. In content the cover letter tells the employer how your resume and your qualifications would assist you for the particular job.
In form the resume is in a bullet form or a list form while the over letter is in a paragraph form like a letter.

2. The resume is divided into your educational background, extracurricular activities, and your work experience. The cover letter is written in a full body paragraph, along with the date, salutation, address, and the closing.

3. I think that Thomas’s objective is too broad and that he should elaborate more. The objective lets the employer know what you want to get out of the job and why you want it in the first place.

4. I would invite Thomas in to discuss his qualifications because he is not very qualified to work with young children. His only qualification that is close to that is that he worked with a fifth grader once a week. I would need to see if he could work with younger children also and everyday rather then once a week.
