Enduring a job search is hard enough, so extra strain on your stress levels will only hinder your ability to get employed effectively. Having the perfect characteristics for a successful interview may all be well, but your job application and resume is the gateway you first need to unlock. Resumes are a screening process and need to be taken seriously. Mediocre and rushed applications may leave you sobbing over your growing pile of rejection letters, but getting a second eye may be your motivation to throw them into the fireplace.
