Unless the employer explicitly asks not to, you should always send a cover letter to accompany your resume. The cover letter allows you to expand on your skills and further tailor your application to the job description. You can also use the cover letter to explain any gaps in your resume.
You can still write a high-quality resume even without much professional painting experience. In this case, focus on skills, education and any volunteer or internship experiences you might have, as long as they apply to the job you want. Where possible, include links to previous painting projects that are relevant to the role.
As with any other resume, a painter’s resume should include a resume summary or objective, skills section, work history, education section and contact information. Use the work experience and skills sections to tailor your resume to the specifications laid out in the job description.
