Through my network of friends and previous supervisors who was now working at the company I wanted to work for, I was given the information about the open job posting. An effective online application (Adobe format) was easy to complete. I added my resume and cover letter with the personal recommendation and dropped off the paperwork in person to the company front desk (always best). I was contacted by phone by a sweet office assistant and interviewed by a panel that included a direct supervisor and two potential coworkers. The supervisor was a little stern and I managed to put a smile on his face with a little fun during the interview. They all agreed I could handle the job and I received an offer soon afterwards by phone.
