I Want To Share This Advice With You

This is for job seekers.

I just wanted to say to make sure that you attach a cover letter with every application.
I had an interview today. I have only 4 months of experience related to the position.
I was a volunteer for 1 day a week, for 4 months to be exact (at a different organziation).

I got to the interview and one of the first things the interviewer said was "you don't have alot of experience with this but I really liked your cover letter and your resume looks great, so I wanted to bring you in and talk to you".

I think that's great feedback into an interviewers 'mind' so I thought I'd share.

I also want to share what was said to me by an internship manager. I had told her that I was applying for jobs as she said she'd help me if I need it regarding reference letters, resume help and stuff...

I told her that I saw jobs that I wanted but did not apply because I lack the experience.

She told me that what you see on the job post, and all those qualifications, are the [u]ideal candidate[/u]. Nobody is perfect, and most likely no one is gonna have all of those qualities. So even if you have just one, apply for the job. Don't sell yourself short. Don't tell yourself no, let [u]them [/u]tell you 'no'.

(I'm really good at selling myself short)

Thats all🙂💼👠👔👞🧾🖊️
