Chapter 9

 The main focus in chapter nine was directed towards resumes. The importance of unsolicited application letters really stood out to me. The book mentioned that fewer than 20 percent of all job applications are advertised. So, this should prompt an individual to send applications to possible employers regardless of whether or not a position is listed as "open". By just getting your name out there, employers may see your resume and find that they like what you have to offer them. They may also pass on your information to others companies in a related field. It could  ultimately turn out to be a crap shoot, or it could improve your chances with getting a job.  I think it is a great idea, personally. The reason for that is because there is essentially nothing to lose, and plenty to gain.
