Tips for Applying to a Position

1. Research the application process before applying to a position
  • Know if you need to include a cover letter or if just a resume will do! Ask someone you know that works there, look it up on the company website or try a google search.
  • One of the biggest mistakes I see time and time again is when applicants do not include a cover letter when applicable or required. (Don't get excluded because of this).
2. Proofread, proofread, proofread
  • Double check your work, ask a friend to review it and always look for those words in spell check that have more than one definition.....
3. Tailor your work experience to meet the position requirements or description - Don't be afraid to sell yourself!!
  • Try to include specific accomplishments in bullets on your resume and if possible add in numbers or amounts that will help to showcase your experience
4. Make sure your resume is not in paragraph form for the job experience section, keep your descriptions short and use bullets!!
