Whether you’re looking for something temporary during the holiday season or a full-time career, it often seems impossible to get your hands on an elusive job. How do other people do it? Luckily for you, we’ve done our research, had our fair share of jobs and figured out some of the best tips for snagging the job of your dreams (well, at least a job).

• Make a specific cover letter. Many people will not use a cover letter at all, and if they use one, it will be canned and generic. Make sure you stand out with a letter that shows you did your research on the company and are very interested in this specific position.

• Call the hiring managers. It’s so easy for us to rely on our computers to do everything digitally, which is why they’ll be impressed by your drive and determination. It also shows them you’re willing to go out of your comfort zone – definitely an important skill.

• Quantify your actions. Yeah, it’s great that you “babysat kids” at your last job, but doesn’t it sound better to say you “engaged and enhanced the learning environment for three children under the age of 6”? Use strong verbs and numbers to really tell what you did.

• Use an appropriate email address. Maybe you’ve been using the same email since middle school; the fact that you still remember the password to that is impressive. However, employers will not be impressed by whatever nickname you chose – just make a new one.

• Send a thank you note. If there are any people who help you move along in the job process, no matter what kind of contribution they made, you should thank them. They went out of their way, and they’ll appreciate it. Bonus points if you write them by hand.
