trustworthy and accountable. I emphasized my current job as a security manager to show my
leadership skills, as well as my ability to work well with others.

Drafting and Revision

During my application process I did research on Evans General Contractors in order to get an
understanding of the position I am applying for. After the research I then used the information in my
cover letter and resume to show my high level of interest. I made a few changes to my resume to focus
on qualities that Evans General Contractors may be looking for. And finally, I wrote a cover letter that
shows my skills and qualities in a way that would benefit my application.
