[Job-Discussions] Take time with resumes

[Sandra Gayer]

Hello again,
If you're comfortable and able to, customising both is the best
option. The key is to make companies feel like they are the only place
you are applying to and that you've thought it all through; what it
would mean to work for them and why you are the best fit for them.

Very best wishes,
Sandra.
