If you don’t, there are ways around that, says Find Your Dream Job guest Kathleen Davis. Kathleen suggests going to LinkedIn to find the names of people you may be speaking with if you apply. It’s important to follow to the letter the application directions, while also seeking to connect with those who can help further your resume. Kathleen also stresses the need to write a unique cover letter for each position, stating your experience and the value you can add to the company.  About Our Guest: Kathleen Davis is the deputy editor at FastCompany.com where she writes about careers, hiring, and other workplace topics.  Kathleen also hosts The New Way We Work podcast.
