 INFORMATION TO BE SUPPLIED IN A WRITTEN "BRIEF"
326 This brief should be prepared as carefully as a lawyer would prepare the brief of
327 a case to be tried in court. Unless the applicant is experienced in the preparation

346 yourself.
347 5. Apply for a specific position. Avoid application for a position without
348 describing EXACTLY what particular position you seek. Never apply for "just a
349 position." That indicates you lack specialized qualifications.
350 6. State your qualifications for the particular position for which you apply. Give
