- Be courteous and professional, but don’t overdo the enthusiasm
- Reference the job description (JD) when you’re writing, know what the key experiences and requirements are and paraphrase them if you have relatable experiences
- Use legible, boring font that’s easy to read - better yet, have it match your resume design
- Convey interest and competency, use this as an opportunity to both differentiate yourself and to be personable

“You don’t need anybody else’s approval but your own. You don’t need an entire army of supporters standing underneath your feet. You don’t need a million more dollars in the bank. You have exactly what you need, and you have it all right now. So take a breath, and go for it.”— Nicole Addison @thepowerwithin

“Love isn’t patient, and kind, and humble. Love is messy, and horrible, and selfish, and….bold. Love is not finding your perfect half, it’s the trying, and reaching, and failing. Love is being willing to ruin your good painting, for a chance at a great one. Is this really the boldest stroke you can make?”
~Ellie Chu, The Half of It
