I got an interview after 8 applications - what worked for you?

After 8 applications I finally got a call for an interview as a home health aide. I tailored my résumé and added a short note. How do you stay calm?

Well done. Take a breath and remember they already liked what they read.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 14 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
