If You're Going to Apply for a Job...

It sounds so simple: details matter.  If you're going to apply for a job, please remember that those who may hire you like the following:

  • A salutation in your email and cover letter

  • Their name in the salutation

  • A resume that can be scanned in less than 15 seconds

  • Info about you that actually matches the job

  • Your ability to be brief

  • The ability to stand out from the crowd

  • Plain language

  • The sense that you've actually researched the organization

  • That you've studied the website


This is all we ask as employers.  Just remember these little details as you apply for a job move from anonymity to landing the position you want.  Please.
