Application strategy

One of the most important yet simple decisions you can make to support your application goals is the order you submit your applications and the order of your interviews.

Your first application will be the toughest because everything will be new. Subsequent applications will inevitably be a variance of your original. By the time you get to your fourth or fifth application, they may only require a slight alteration of your existing investment.
