Tip 1: Master the cover letter

When applying for a job, it is important to craft a cover letter that stands out. Avoid cliches and flowery language that small businesses see through instantly. Instead, focus on presenting facts, showcasing your qualifications, and highlighting past results. Small businesses, in particular, want to see concrete evidence of your competence and contributions. Emphasize your accomplishments and the value you can bring to the company.
