Step Four Contact: Application

NOTE
List as many special skills and qualifications as possible. Many companies use application forms, not résumés, to screen candidates.

NOTE
If possible, use the description for the job you seek to determine what equipment and skills it requires. Then show that you have those qualifications and more.

NOTE
Use bulleted lists; they're easier to read.

NOTE
Customize each application form to show that your past jobs prepared you for the position you want. Here the applicant mentions her experience with policies because the new job requires it.

NOTE
List what you actually did, not just your "official" duties. This applicant mentions training, which was not part of her job description.

NOTE
Be positive when describing why you left a position. Emphasize what you hoped to gain, not why you wanted to leave. Be brief!
