- Interviewing
When all is said and done, the purpose of a resume is to get you an interview. Anything that distracts from that goal is a negative; anything that moves you closer is a positive. When you review your credentials package, ask an unbiased peson whether or not they'd be interested in talking to someone like this.
As far as interviewing goes, there are few moments that generate as much fear. The web is chock full of advice that preys on these fears. From the lame Interviewing Tips for Job Seekers to the academic Employment Interviewing Bibliography. A simple search on Employment Interviewing will give you about 9,000 places to look for advice and consolation.
The bottom line? Everyone gets nervous when preparing for an employment interview. Knowing as much as you can about the company; making comfortable conversation and solid eye contact; and relaxing while you're in the process are the basic pieces of making your interview a success. Being on time is a good start.
WinWay Corporation provides a delicious article on Handling Illegal Interview Questions that's worth a quick scan.
We're currently suggesting that you don't include your resume as an attachment to email. Many of your intended recipients are like us and more or less trash attachments without looking at them. Don't ask your audience to do extra work for you.
