The professional touch is a powerful influence. Whether it is about developing a professional-looking layout with a careers adviser or seeking advice from the relevant professional body about application styles preferred by employers in a particular sector or career area, try to make use of all the help and support that is available to you. Effort and preparation tend not to go unnoticed.
