Today marks the second official day of my job hunt. I sent out another three applications today. All were to local businesses I heard of from friends. The process takes a while, I admit…but you don’t want your cover letter to be a template. They just blend in with everyone else’s. That is why I worry a little about doing the “auto-apply” they have on sites like monster.com. If the option is there to apply manually, I think it would work out better in your favor. Some of the applications seem to have personalized questionnaires to learn more about the applicant. Something that you can’t fill out if you do it through monster.
It’s still way too early to know for sure…at least for me, but for now I will be doing a mix of manual applications and automated ones using monster. I’ll report my findings once I find a job.
