Before You Apply
As with any job you?re applying to, you MUST present yourself professionally. Here are some things to keep in mind before you send your resume out:
Spell check ANY and ALL correspondence ? which means cover letters, resumes, emails, and etc.
Customize your cover letter and resume for the specific job/company you?re applying to. I also recommend you have a professional resume writer craft your resume package.
Be prepared for the interview. Read up on the company and the job, jot down possible questions you?d be asked and the answers to them, and be sure that your house is quiet during the interview.
