Find Your Dream Job: Insider Tips for Finding Work, Advancing your Career, and Loving Your Job

How to Tell Your Career Story in Your Job Application, with Scott Clyburn


Listen Later

One way to stand out above other applicants is by telling a compelling story- your career story. But research shows that only 35% of applicants write a cover letter. Find Your Dream Job guest Scott Clyburn says you need to use that cover letter to create a “greatest hits'' list of your career achievements. Distill your accomplishments down to those that had the most success. Curate your resume to show an employer how your experience will make you an asset to their company. And do enough research to allow you to speak about the company knowledgeably.
