" Make the effort to research the companies that you are targeting. Nothing turns me off more than to receive an application from an ill informed individual.<br><br> One example is to address your resume to a specific person rather than cDear Sir/Madam. d You must have good background knowledge of the company including its management, fleet, routes and history. " Limit the use of special effects such as coloured paper or gimmicks. " Always present yourself and your car in a neat and tidy condition when job searching.<br><br> " Keep a record of contact with potential employers and update it regularly (6 to 12 months).
