		<description><![CDATA[The biggest question on most people’s minds after losing a job is about financing. How will I survive until that next paycheck comes in? What will we do to pay the bills? How will I buy groceries? There are plenty of questions to ask yourself. Most people answer this with a part-time or even full-time job that serves as an interim way to stay afloat. However, there are many options out there.

		<description><![CDATA[Many people experience a wide swing in emotions during a job search. The most common emotions include:

Fear
Shame
Anger
Depression
Helplessness
Worthlessness

Each of these emotions is picked up by good interviewing teams. However, they typically see each as a lack of confidence. It is vital that you address each of these emotions in advance of your interview and anytime they spring up. The best way to do so is to acknowledge the emotions and address them. Ignoring or trying to act like you are not bothered will actually intensive the emotion and make it harder ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the greatest challenges during any job search is the management of your finances. No longer can you count on that next check to tie up loose ends. Instead, you have to focus closely on any money flowing in and out of your bank account. Don’t worry! You can survive if you stay focused on managing your money.

		<description><![CDATA[In past articles, we&#8217;ve discussed the basic structure of a cover letter. In this article, we&#8217;ll walk you through turning your basic cover letter into an impressive cover letter.
Your resume outlines your career, skills, and experience. It is the most common means of advertising to potential employers. Unfortunately, few hiring managers enjoy reading resumes.  Your cover letter is a short concise means of selling the hiring manager on reading your resume. They don&#8217;t have to commit much time to read over the cover letter, so they are highly likely to ...]]></description>

The more valuable you appear in the cover letter, the more likely the reader will be to move on to your resume.
To help with choosing the best wording, we&#8217;ve included a few sample rewordings for your cover letter.

I am a people person


I fixed up two beaters I bought at a junk yard.

I waited tables at a restaurant

You only have one paragraph to sell them so make sure you are using selling phrases in your cover letter and make sure your cover letter matches the target position.

When well constructed, a cover letter can get your resume read by twice as many hiring managers. It can&#8217;t get you the job, but definitely helps you get your foot in the door.
