If
you are planning to make some applications over the next few days, bear the
following tips in mind:
- Be selective – you cannot make very many applications
at this late stage. Plan to make a handful at most.
- Be realistic – look at the standard of candidate a firm
looks for. What are their minimum criteria, for instance? Select firms
whose requirements you definitely satisfy.
- Be specific – every firm is different, so every
application needs to be different. If you think that you could send your
application to another firm with minimal alterations, you’ve not made it
specific enough.
- Be a perfectionist – a slapdash application is far
worse than no application at all. You’ll still have nothing to show for
it, but you may well have ruined your reputation with that firm forever.
Every sentence should be honed, spelling and grammar must be impeccable,
and every claim about yourself should be backed up with evidence.
