This essay is an opportunity to show what really drives you and makes you different

Think of it like this: if you lost everything else in life (job, loved ones, health, etc.) what would keep you going if you could still do it/ had it? For some it’s some hobby they are crazy passionate for, for others it’s the type of work they do or an ideal they hold. Do some soul searching and figure out an answer that makes sense given your background

It's not dry and dead out there. Started looking only 6 weeks back. Attended 3 interviews. Accepted one offer. Transfer approved in 3 business days. Joining Chase next week. Keep looking guys.
I just went to each of the 'careers' pages.. Updated resume to match the requirements on each posting. Called out on resume that I need immigration sponsorship. Had a cover letter for each posting.
Before that I spent money on getting a professional resume from Monster. Highly recommended. Good luck all.
