A field guide by Arial

The Arial guide to landing interviews

Four short chapters on the mechanics of a modern job search: how to aim, how to write, how to apply, and how to interview. No platitudes, no filler. Every section ends with something you can do in the next ten minutes. Read it start to finish, or jump to the part that is holding you up.

The guide is the theory. Arial is the shortcut: upload the resume you already have, and every bullet gets rewritten from your real experience into the shape these chapters describe.
