The Rest of the Package

---

The first thing you should consider if you're going to send your resume to a company electronically is a cover letter to go along with your resume. If you haven't already written a cover letter or you're not sure if yours is written correctly, you should check out some sites online to give your letter a boost. One site to look at first should be CareerCity's cover letter link (http://www.careercity.com).

At this point, the interview is probably the most stressful part of your job search left. But you can find online help to get you through the big event. One article that should help you is another of E-Span's articles, called "Different Type of Interviews Require Different Strategies." The article summarizes the three basic interview techniques (screening, employment decision, and confirmation) and provides helpful hints about making through each type of interview. For example, the article points out that during a screening interview and throughout the interviewing process, you should reflect enthusiasm, regardless of the position of the person interviewing you. "Even if you are speaking to an entry level human resources clerk, this person has the power to stop the interview process, or continue your candidacy to the next step," states the article. You might also consider asking for an overview of the position and what it entails. Another point�refrain from speaking about any salary or benefit questions.
