The days of sending a generic CV are out. You need to be able to stand out and make the connection that lands an interview. Experts share five fresh and practical ways you can do this: 1) Outsmart the robots; 2) Show off your skills; 3) Don’t restrict your work experience to just “work”; 4) Let the numbers do the talking; and 5) Keep your cover letter personal.”

But under the conditions 2020 has introduced, it’s hard to see any path forward – opportunities are few, scattered, and indistinct. I began my career last year, after graduating in English from Pomona College. Nearly everyone I know who entered the writing world with me approached their next step with different goals in mind, different priorities, different tradeoffs. Here’s the advice we can give for 2020."
