Tips
- Sell Yourself! - Learn everything you can about the company you are applying with. Come up with a list of potential interview questions and be prepared when you speak to your potential employer.
- Details are key...dress appropriately, don't use generic cover letters, and send thank you notes after an interview (which you can use to re-visit any of your weak areas that were brought up in the interview).
- Positive Attitude: You may not get the first or second job you apply for. In tough economic times there is a high level of competition for employment. Use your past job-hunting experience to make your next job search a complete success!
