knowledge, you can not only find employment opportunities, but you can land your dream

in person! If you are friendly and persistent (but not annoying), you may be the first person
they think of when a job becomes available.

skills. Your goal is to tailor the cover letter to closely align with the company's needs.

modesty are nice traits but can hinder your job search. Think of yourself as an incredible

problem at hand.
