She has always been focused in that direction.

You’re right about sending different CVs. A generic one can’t pack the same type of punch. I’m glad you found work at your old uni. They’re great for more than just studying! :)

I got a degree in Biology, so the job market didn’t look great. But I marketed myself well and created different resumes and CVs for every type of job I’d be interested in working, then started plastering them on every job board or website that would take them.

Eventually I found a job in internet recruiting for the university I graduated from. Pretty cool stuff!
