And after less then a second your mouse is already on the "apply" button.First mistake, dear. The description of a job ad it's the most important part: all the necessary skills and the Company mission is in that page! Give yourself five minutes to read it very accurately. Just after that, it's time to open CV and cover letter and edit it, when necessary.
