Abstract :
The author argues that a job seeker who tailors each resume and application letter to capture the interest of a particular employer is far more likely to elicit a response than a job seeker who simply sends copies of a standard resume and letter to every employer. In a highly competitive job market, he advocates careful orchestration of the whole employment-seeking process from resume preparation to personal presentation during an interview.
