Yes, you should always provide a cover letter with your interior design resume if you want to stand a good chance of getting a job interview. Your cover letter is a unique opportunity to address a specific hiring manager directly and make a persuasive case about your suitability for the role. A great cover letter can provide essential context and address gaps in your resume. The only exception to this rule is where a potential employer specifically asks not to submit one.
It is possible to find an entry-level interior design job with no professional experience, but it will be easier if you can show that you have some non-professional experience. Relevant volunteer work, charity work, or even a personal project can help to bolster your resume skills and experience.
Yes, you should customize your interior design resume to suit every job posting you apply for. Tailor your resume by looking at the job posting for the key skills and experience required. Highlight those areas in which your skill set and the needs of the role overlap in your resume.
