6 Halloween Job Search Tips

If You Can Find the Perfect Costume, You Can Find the Perfect Job

2. It's the Details That Count

For many, the most important key in a costume are the accessories. It’s one thing to put on a bunch of gold jewelry and a weightlifting belt and go as a vintage Mr. T. It’s another to shave your head into the Mohawk/beard combo (like a co-worker of mine did 2 years ago).

Details also count during your job search. Did you deeply research the company before an interview? Is your resume spotless of typos? Did you get the name of every person you met with and send a thank you email? Do you have a portfolio of your best work to present during a review? It’s the little things that count.
