** The first thing you must do even before writing your cover letter or resume is to find out what you want.
- What skills do you possess that could contribute to the company? - What are you looking for in a company?
- What type of work environment are you looking to work in?
- What type of work environment are you looking to work in?
**What skills do you possess that could contribute to the company?
- Think about past jobs and activities you have been involved in, ie:
-Social groups, or more secluded work environments?-Worked with/ handled money in the past?
-Worked with or had experience working with food?
- "What words describe best the things you like to do best? Which describe your real
strengths, those skills and abilities that set you off from other applicants? Which skills
do you prefer not to use?" ie. adapted, solved, developed

**What are you looking for in a company?
- Some things to consider according to LEO:
-What personal needs must be fulfilled for you to be happy working for a particular organization
-Do you thrive on change? Or do you prefer a more constant environment?
-Do you like a quiet or noisy atmosphere?
- It is very important to consider all of these examples, you don't want to get yourself into a bad job
situation.
- Use people resources!
-Professors in the field you are looking into
-People who work for opposing companies
-People who hold the same position that you are looking to get into
**Ask what they know about the company you are looking into, and if there are any positions available.
