  2. Read the full job details before tailoring your materials. Align your résumé (and cover letter, if requested) to the responsibilities and requirements stated in the posting to avoid mismatches.

  4. Submit exactly what the application requests. Complete required fields and attach documents only when the posting indicates attachments are part of the process. When optional items are offered, include the ones that clarify fit.

  5. Do a final consistency check before submitting. Ensure titles and dates on your résumé match what you describe in your application text.

  6. Keep expectations realistic. Availability can change over time, and the process you follow depends on the role currently listed on the Career Site.
