what needs to be included in a cover letter on a resume?
also, is an objective required on the front of the resume? what does it need to contain? also, how detailed should i be with work history?
in other words, does anyone know of any good websites where i can see sample resumes for free?
Check out your local Public Library – they have LOTS of great books on this subject. Sometimes they also have free seminars.
No, an objective is no longer required on the Resume – that is a dated concept.

The KEY is to answer the question of what it is you can do to fill a need that the potential employer has.
Everything else supports that goal.

- You learned how to program SQL to solve customer database issues at school ABC, then put it down.

Just google ‘sample cover letter’ or ‘sample resumes’. For more thorough research try http://www.monster.com or http://www.careerbuilder.com. There are many more websites out there but these are the two I use most.
Regarding objective statement, you only need it in the beginning of your career. Once you’ve worked for a while you can take it out. Instead, add ‘Summary of Qualifications’ on the resume outlining your experience and accomplishments.
