Thoughts:

• Must catch the eye and begin to 'sell' a potential employee
• Contain specific information such as experience and understanding of personal goals and achievements.
• Communicate quickly, that include something interesting about the applicant
• Must stand out
• It is important to communicate both visually and with the written work in a professional presentation.
