Tips For Job Hunting!

It is always a good idea to include a cover letter to help your application stand out when applying for a job. Cover letters shouldn't be too long, somewhere between a paragraph to a page, and should include:
- Why you're excited to be applying for this job
- Why you are a perfect fit for this job
- And what this job gives you
When addressing the cover letter, dig a little to see if you can find who is in charge of hiring, if you can't find who it is, you can address it to the Hiring Committee/Manager.
