One of the most important steps to find employment is to tailor your cover letter and resume towards the position you are applying for. Highlight the skills and experience that are transferable to the type of work you are seeking and avoid overloading your resume with every single position you’ve worked in. At the Busy Beat Pre-Employment Hub in Southport, our team is experienced in job search techniques and will often speak to people who are struggling to find employment. This can sometimes be because they are using the same resume for all positions they apply for.
