For advice to our Beacons, Jovani states, "My advice is simple: go back to the basics! I interview people all the time and you would be amazed at how many candidates do not send a thank you email, do not ask follow-up questions, and do not have a resume or cover letter prepared... Today’s workforce is just looking for people who are genuine and who care to put in the hard work."
