your resume to the company with a cover letter. The company will then interview the candidates it
feels are most qualified, based on the job description.

After graduating in economics, I did the usual thing of putting together my CV and applying for jobs.

I got a very tempting offer from an investment bank and accepted it. I was a good team player, and
I moved up the ladder really fast. However, one day I had a change of heart. I realized I’d stopped
enjoying the excitement. I felt I needed to get my priorities right. I decided that other aspects of my
life should take priority over my work. I handed in my resignation and moved to the country.
