Question: does anyone know the best website for building a resume and cover letter? 

Answer: You know, I had to do one for my technical writing class (which was good because I didn't have one yet) and I looked on Google for examples.  Two things NOT to put on your resume that is in this example, http://www.jhu.edu/~cheme/aiche/Sample%20Resume.jpg is the Objective, DO NOT put the objective on your resume (this is modern practice) and do not state "References Available Upon Request" as this is assumed by most employers now.  My professor told me it can actually hurt your chances of getting hired.  I know you were looking for a website but this way suited me just as well.  Just my thoughts.\n\nYou can look up cover letters on Google as well.
