Beginning the Job Search
Step 1: Resume
Keep it clean and concise
One to two pages max. Use clear headings and consistent formatting throughout.
Tailor it to the role
Mirror language from the job description and lead with the experience most relevant to the position.
Quantify your impact
Use numbers where you can — percentages, team sizes, timeframes. Specifics stand out.
Proofread carefully
Typos and inconsistent formatting are easy to avoid and hard to overlook. Read it twice.
Step 2: Cover Letters
Open strong
Lead with why this specific role excites you — skip the generic intro.
Make it relevant
Pick two or three experiences that directly match the job requirements.
Keep it brief
Three short paragraphs is ideal. Respect the reader's time.
Landing the Interview
Step 3: Interview Preparation
Understand the business
Research their products, mission, and recent news before you arrive.
Know the industry
Familiarize yourself with current trends to show you're informed and engaged.
Study the role
Review the job description and match your experience to what they're looking for.
Dress appropriately
When in doubt, lean more formal. Bring printed copies of your resume.
Step 4: Be Prepared for Common Interview Questions
Tell me about yourself.
Your elevator pitch — highlight relevant experience and what you bring to the role.
Why do you want to work here?
Connect your goals to their mission. Be genuine.
Tell me about a challenge you faced.
Use the STAR method: Situation, Task, Action, Result.
Why are you looking to leave?
Focus on what you're moving toward, not what you're leaving behind.
Do you have any questions?
Always prepare a few. Culture questions are a great, natural place to start.
