It is hard to stand out among the many individuals looking for jobs and applying for positions.  If you know of a position that you want, drop of a resume in person along with a cover letter.  Stop by the location or main office and personally drop off a cover letter and resume with the receptionist.  Attach a personal handwritten note if you’d like and clip to the cover letter and resume.  In the note mention that you are very interested in the position and would love a quick introductory conversation or brief interview to introduce your skills and experience.
