When I am applying for jobs, I use the same resume and cover letter.

In my resume, I have stated that I

want to obtain a job as whatever the job title is. I have a standard set of references, but will alternate
their use depending on the job. When I have to update my resume, I think of the classes I have taken
and what skills I have learned. Then, I look at the job descriptions and try to relate to that in my resume
or cover letter.

Before going to an interview, I will Google the company’s website and pick out some information to
remember and bring it up in my interview. I also look at the company motto, and try to incorporate that
idea into my answers. I have gotten compliments because I knew some information about the company,
or I say I have looked at their website and found this information about the company.

I will bring my resume with me to relate back to the job title I am applying for and my schooling
certificates and degrees I will be getting. I make sure to give a firm hand shake at the beginning of my
interview, and again at the end of my interview. I always try to ask questions because I heard they like
when you ask questions about such things as their hiring timeline. How far out is their schedule? How
soon will I hire back from them either way?
