Re: NBR: Help with cover letter & Resume
Reduce the number of times you say very, and take out I believe from you degree sentence (take it out of both sentences). Also it should be degree not degrees. Instead of saying you handle multi-tasking, simply say you multi-task. Add an s to position in the sentence that begins with All.
On your resume, you need to include what degree you earned and when you graduated. If you did not graduate, then you need to remove degrees/degree from your letter, and maybe just mention your formal education in communications and business.
