Job-hunting includes job searching, preparing CV and cover letter, and interview. Preparation of CV and cover letter requires you to write. It is an important step as these documents present your profile to potential employers.
Computer:
To get started, make sure you have a computer to type. These days, employers seldom require job seekers to submit handwritten documents. Do not send handwritten cover letter and CV to apply for jobs.
Certificates:
Have your information and certificates ready on your desk. When you start to write, you will find that you need to provide information such as past working experiences, academic qualifications, professional qualifications, etc. to potential employers. These information needs to be true and accurate. For example, you have to provide the year of graduation from university, your title and job duties in the last company, etc. So, do not make them up.
Other tools:
Some companies require you to send your job application by post. So you have to print your cover letter and CV. Make sure you have a printer and sufficient ink for printing so that your documents can be read clearly. Also, A4-size white paper is needed for printing. Do not use other kinds of paper.
