Preparing Job-Application Materials

Chapter 15


I found this chapter very informative. It makes a lot of sense that if I was looking for a job in a position that I want,  I would have to also like the company and in order to like it I should know more about this organization.I never thought that after an interview it is a good idea to write a letter of appreciation. That is something that I would certainly keep in mind. I find interesting the fact that contractors now days will include a search online as well as the application as part of a personal reference. I think that if this is true, this could be in my advantage or disadvantage. It will all depend on being aware.


I have never written a resume about my jobs but I have written essays for scholarships. In these essays I have had to include my goals and duties as a volunteer, my leadership skills and experiences. One time a heard from  an employer: "You should take care of this business as if it was yours" When applying for a job, my focus should be in the goals of the company and my desire for working there.
