Submit a Cohesive Application Package – Branded Cover Letter & Tailored Resume
After your resume is finalized, comes the easy part – applying! The best-case scenario for submitting a job application is through a networking contact. However, there are times where you will not have a contact to help you get a foot in the door. To optimize online applications you must submit a UNIQUE cover letter and resume for every application. This is known as resume and cover letter tailoring. The goal with tailoring is to show potential employers that you have the most relevant work experience compared to the hundreds of other applicants competing for the same job. This is where you will rely on the “bucket” system from your Search Strategy Roadmap to help you stay completed focused when making tailoring tweaks.
