Happy October, IU! Today’s #TipTuesday from Heartland Film tells you the best way to apply for a job.
- It has never been easier to apply for a job than it is today across our digital landscape. Don’t be rushed by ease and convenience; triple-check your materials and make sure you’re following the specific requests of the employer.
- If samples are requested and you only send a resume, than the employer’s first impression is that you can’t follow basic instructions.
- Always tailor your cover letter and resume to the given position and tell your story.
- Apply for positions you qualify for and wait — but make goals — for the ones you don’t.
