"Alright, now that we have found some job openings, the next thing we're going to do we're going to respond to them. And there are several ways in which you can actually respond to job openings. You can just send a letter of inquiry to find out more information about the job. Maybe you don't want to officially apply for it yet, but you want to find out more information about it. And so that's a really good thing you can do. Get more information back to see if you really want to go through the application process. Which sometimes can be a bit arduous. But you might want to go ahead and send in an application. A lot of companies will want you to fill out an application on line. You can do that. They will also probably want your resume and sometimes your transcripts. Or you can send a hard copy cover letter and resume to a specific job opening. All the different job opening classified ads should tell you how to apply for the job. So you want to start applying for these jobs that you really would seriously consider, keeping in mind that you are probably going to send in a fair amount of resumes and applications before you start getting interviews. So if it looks good, it pays what you can live with, go ahead and send in an application. But don't just randomly send in applications to everybody everywhere."
