Job interview Preparation
Most times you only get one shot at the job interview. When
preparing yourself for a job interview, you must do a number of
things to get ready. You need to make sure that you are looking your
best, that you are well-rested and fed, and most importantly, that you
have a flawless resume to present to your prospective employer. You can
go into an interview and say all of the right things, but if your
resume has questionable content or is not put together very well, it
can be a deal breaker. The following are some ideas on how you can
create and present the perfect resume for success at your next job
interview.
While the job of your resume is to tell everything about you to
the interviewer, it is your job to put together a resume that can
provide all of that information in a short summarization. Your resume
should never need to be more than one page in length. If it is, figure
out which pieces of information are not essential and cut them from the
final product.
Some people feel that they can impress the hiring staff by
using specialty papers and fonts with their resume. Do not make this
mistake. When human resource managers or shop owners make a decision
about who to hire, they do so based on the qualifications of the
applicants - not because they took extra effort in preparing their
resumes. Your resume needs to be easy to read, it does not need to be
pretty.
If you have a short employment history, you may feel compelled
to list every single job you have ever had to make your resume appear
more impressive. If you are applying for a specialized position, you
need only include employment history information that relates to the
position you are applying for, which lets the interviewer know that you
have previous experience in the field for which you are applying.
The odds are pretty good that you are going to be typing out
your resume on a computer, using some sort of word processing software.
This software has spelling and grammar checks for a reason. Use it.
Make sure that you have used the proper spelling, grammar, and
punctuation, and have more than one person double check it after you
have, just to be sure.
One popular mistake is to lie in one's resume. No, not all
employers check to make sure that the employment and personal
references for an applicant are accurate, but that is not the point.
You do not want to start out your employment relationship with
falsehoods, so do not pad your resume with things that you never did.
There is no need to attach a list of previous employer and
personal references to your resume. Simply note in your resume that
references are available upon request, and during your interview, you
can offer to deliver copies of those to the interviewer if need be.
This shows your willingness to share this information, but cuts down on
waste in case the interviewer does not need it.
