Three top tips for getting hired
1. Always send a thank-you note to anyone you meet with that may either hire you and / or can assist you in seeking a job (preferably a hand-written note, or at a minimum an e-mail).
2. If you meet with more than one professional from the same company, send separate thank-you notes and write to each professional something different including what you enjoyed about the interview (even if only an informational interview).
3. Network, network, network with family, friends, business peers, alumni, fellow worshippers, etc.
