that your next job depends on luck? What if you could better you luck with job
searching? Job searching is all about the numbers. The more jobs you respond to,
the luckier you will get. People advance their careers
by continued focused efforts in the job hunting arena.

the same resume to 100 different jobs and get 10 phone calls for interviews.

resume. If your resume doesn’t match that job posting
as well as the resume the recruiter just read, then it goes into the trash.

letter that highlights parts of your resume that show where you really outshine
the competition. The job posting is a wealth of information just waiting for
you. Make sure you don’t just look at is a posting and instead see it as a
secret door into your next career move.
