Let’s go over the basics of applying for jobs again shall we?:
1. Read the posting. Don’t apply if you can’t demonstrate the core skills.
2. Do what the posting says.
3. Spell names right. Double check that you spelled names right. (I’ve had a “Dear Rose” and a “P Engine” this week)
4. Express excitement for the actual job that you are applying for. Boilerplate excitement will be detected and ignored!
5. Give some evidence that you can do the job.
This is the bare minimum to get past step 1.
