Job Interview Skills - What You Must Have to Land the Job



Recommended Answer:
How about monster.com or any of those job website where your post your resume?

I interview people and here is some advice that should seem obvious but to many job seekers it is not.

Make sure you are properly presentable. If you are interviewing for a suit and tie type job then look the part. Make sure from top to bottom it is correct. If you can't handle the basics of presenting yourself then do you think I'll be impressed with your enthusiasm, education and experience? Those things don't shine as well if your fingernails are dirty or need to be clipped and your shoes need a shine. Trust me, how you look matters.

Job Interview Advice - Dos and Don'ts For Your Big Day


  • Anyway, what you need is to do is some hard work. I would look on Monster.com, craigs list, etc for a job.

    1) Look at the job information:
    Cover Letter: Often jobs will list "personality" traits they are looking for. These are called buzz words. When you write your cover letter, use some of these buzz words.

    EXAMPLES
    They want Somebody how has lots of energy, you put Energetic.
    They want somebody creative, you put innovative.

    The list can go on.

    2) On the website. while doing your cover letter, go to the website of the people who are hiring. Find out who to address the letter to, and get the address. Also print off a copy of the application.RESUME
    Instead of just applying for the job with the same tired old resume format as everyone else, I would do a paper copy. Print it on QUALITY resume paper (that can be found at Office Max). Also print the cover letter on that paper. Also, I suggest getting a box of matching "resume" folders. They will look sharp and give you a nice touch.

    Other Stuff:
    Include in the "resume" folder your resume, cover letter, full application. Also, some jobs require transcripts and other proof to be hired. I would send a copy of those items as well.

    This will give you an advantage over the other aplicants
