You are so right- leaving a job is NEVER easy, but there are definitely better ways to do it than others. Thanks so much for your comment.

LinkedIn is awesome, but when I hire interns, I read their cover letter first and it’s a really important step in the process for me. If they can’t communicate who they are and why they’d be valuable to my company in a brief letter, that tells me a lot about their skills.

It’s another great way to do research!

There are certain skills you just don’t learn in school- things you pick up on the job, but skills that most definitely need to be mastered in the early part of your career. I explore five of these imperative skills in this latest post for Brazen Life. [...]

Would disagree with #1 cover letter even being a top 20 especially in todays social media environment. A good LinkedIn profile and 2nd/3rd degree connections are 100x more valuable then any cover letter.

Leaving a job gracefully – how many of us know how to do this, even in our 30′s / 40′s?!!

Cecilia also makes a great point about finding a mentor or coach – it does wonders for self confidence, perspective, and all those great things.

I would add that our 20′s are also really abundant years for exploring skills and interests in the work place. It’s a good for looking into different career paths without it impacting the long-term.

I see this with 20 somethings many times and leave the job. You never know what that job will lead to.
Do it with a smile and positive attitude.

Find a mentor, a coach, or a peer to help you practice interviewing. If you are still in school, access their career center. This helped me so much when I was in job search mode.

To stem from your second point, having great interview skills are a must — they can be the difference between a candidate who lands a job and one who’s put on the backburner. To ensure you have the right skills, do your research, understand what the company is all about, tell the story of you in the interview, and follow-up correctly. You’ll find a more positive outcome when you do so.
