JourneytoSaving All very good tips! And so important to keep in mind. It might take a while to find a template that is clean and concise, but the time spent on it is so worth it!

MicrosMissions Oh cover letters…awful little things. Kudos to you for being able to get around having to do them!

I think the biggest thing is having a clear, concise resume. We have been hiring at my job, and I’ve seen a handful of the resumes that have been sent in. Some of them are big walls of text, and others just look plain. I wouldn’t be too enticed to read them! The other thing we’ve noticed is that some older people still have stuff from high school on their resume (people with 10+ years of working). Keep irrelevant information off your resume!

Monicaonmoney  It took me a while to figure it out too; if you want great results (ie, make it to interviews), you really need to take the time to work on each resume and utilize the job posting to do it!
