yeah the online search can be brutal

I did meet with a few people but I wasn't interested in what they were doing

Any other people I met along the way were great at giving advice, well not all, but they did not set me up with with any companies

I want to add that if your resume is full of bullet points, throw it out

Act is if you are writing a brief, 5 sentence (a little more or less) story about your past and current work experience, per position. Make it sound as interesting as possible instead of a boring listing of your tasks at work.

Also try to make your cover letters fit not only the position but the company as well

If you are applying for the same type of work during your search it makes sense that major edits are not required for every letter but your intro and closing paragraphs should always be unique

for both resume and cover letter, use keywords that are in the job description
