I have a portfolio which I used to get this job. It mainly contained my certificates and although I had sent my CV in, I included a more detailed one in my portfolio. I have my last two positions on separate sheets of paper, explaining more about what I did, who reported to me, specific projects I was involved in and the outcomes etc.
Your CC or resume, should be an enticer, something that grabs future employers attentions and makes them want to know more.
I used to work in Career Guidance (not as a career advisor but behind the scenes) and the best advice I've heard about cover letters is to make that your personality. Your resume is practical, your cover letter reveals a bit about your personality, so pick one topic/project/idea and sell yourself on that. Who you are, what your ambitions are. I don't mean give someone your life story but what attracted you to their company, how do you think your beliefs match their goals etc.
Good luck
Callie
