Instead of trying to make one square peg fit into this round hole, let's create a bunch of square pegs that fit into different square holes."   "You're not going to be successful being everything to everybody."   "The cover letter takes it to another level—a more personal level."   "You kind of have to read the person who's interviewing you."   "I love it when people are able to feel like they can still make a contribution in spite of the fact that we have all these difficult restrictions and things in place."   "   LINKS: RDH Resumes and Career Guidance - https://gethiredrdh.com/  Doug's email - [email protected] Doug's phone - (801)683-9664   A Tale of Two Hygienists homepage - https://ataleoftwohygienists.com/     AToTH on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aTaleOfTwoHygienists/     AToTH on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ataleoftwohygienists     AToTH on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/atoth/?originalSubdomain=ca
