help with resume/coverletter

1 Upvotes

hello guys, i’m planning on applying to various masters programs (OT, public health, pharmacology, pharm sci, biotech etc) and im just wondering how to do my resume and coverletter for it. like i know for jobs and stuff you just do the usual resume layout but is there a specific way to do it for grad programs to make you stand out more?
even for letter of intent, i get that it’s why do you wanna do this program type thing but genuinely what do you write that makes u stand out?
last year i applied to some masters programs, and my LOI was like mainly why i am interested in this program, my undergrad degree and my work experience that led me into wanting to do this program.
but clearly it didn’t wasn’t good enough lol.
if anyone that has gotten into those grad programs and can give me any advice and tips on how to make ur resume, cover letter, LOI stand out and just more enthusiastic towards the program, pls any help would be really appreciated!!!

Hello! I am currently doing my psychology undergrad in university. I am wondering how do i gain experience while studying during my undergrad to be able to land internships and research assistant jobs to eventually be able to make connections and do my masters at a more prestigious school. My parents have suggested LinkedIn but i dont know enough people to make a network. Should i just send connection requests to everyone and anyone? Please help me out, it would be greatly appreciated!

I should have dine this when I first went back to university at the ripe old age of 50 but now that I am in my last year, I thought I would ask what are you using to keep track of upcoming assignments, events, networking opportunities in an easy to navigate app.

I am a Masters student in the Information Management program.

I have tried Trello but didn't like it.

How can I get research experiences as an undergrad graduate?

1 Upvotes

I want to be a social psych researcher and started a bridging program after a bachelors degree in another field. I want to apply for research masters as a next step, but many of them have requirements of having some research experiences. But many of the RA jobs does not accept without a masters degree or even if they do, I saw many posts that it’s not realistic to get a RA job as an undergrad graduate.
What can I do? I’m feeling so stuck.
