Verify the employer

Use the organization’s own careers page when possible and confirm the opening is still active.

Read requirements closely

Check schedules, licenses, certifications, physical requirements, background checks and closing dates.

Tailor each application

Match relevant experience and skills to the posted role rather than relying on one generic resume.

Use transit strategically
