Applying to Jobs - How to get the interview!

When you are looking for a job, it can often feel like you will never get the interview. Sending away so many resumes, not getting seen through the crowds of other people applying. 

I am currently in the chase of a new job and this is how I stand out. 

COVER LETTERS

Write a cover letter, this is not only important for a way to craft something to display your skills, but make it personal. Honestly make them believe you want this job. Are you applying for 40+ jobs? Maybe but when they read that cover letter they should feel like the only one.

You want this job for real, not because its another job. Create a story, why you want to work there, who the person you believe the position will allow you to be. Why it has to be this specific job and not anything else. 

For me I am a powerlifter, that is my passion. Maybe I am applying for a job because it aligns with my only trail of thought. Everything lifting related. 

Maybe I am a woman trying to break into the business world. A woman who will make her spot and be successful. 

Put as much passion in to this as you can, the more you stand out the better. 

Thats the goal, it can be silly to read to your friends your Cover Letter, but REMEMBER you are pitching yourself. HIRE ME & not the next persons resume that you read. 

Anyways thats my two cents.
