TEACHER'S INPUT

I HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH THE LEARNED VIDEO WRITER AS THESE DAYS THE MAJORITY OF RECRUITMENT IS DONE USING ONLINE FORMS, THIS ELIMINATES THE OPPORTUNITY TO 'BEND' HOW YOU PRESENT YOURSELF. 

HOWEVER, MY TIP IS TO LEAVE OUT ANY JOBS THAT DO NOT SEEM TO FIT THE PERSON SPEC / PROFILE OF THE JOB YOU ARE AFTER - ALSO

DO NOT EVER  USE THE SAME COVERING LETTER FOR EVERY JOB - IT HAS TO BE TAILORED PRECISELY TO THE PERSON SPEC IN THE JOB ADVERT, OTHERWISE YOU MAY AS WELL THROW IT INTO A BOTTLE AND INTO THE SEA.

ONE THING TO NOTE, EMPLOYERS EXPECT GRADUATES TO HAVE ACCUMULATED WORK EXPERIENCE WITHIN THEIR CHOSEN INDUSTRY BEFORE  THEY GRADUATE.
