It pains me now to look back at it, but I spent unfathomable amounts of hours of my senior year in college applying for internships, training placements and entry-level jobs.
After wall-to-wall rejection letters or, even worse, no response at all, I finally swallowed my pride and visited my on-campus career advisor. They helped me to tweak (okay... completely tear up and rewrite) my resume and cover letter. Within a week, I was invited to an interview.
