INTERVIEWING TIPS

Pre-Interview:

PERCEPTION - Unless a hiring authority has previous knowledge of your skills and background, please remember that the first impression that you will be evaluated by is your verbal and written communication. Be sure that all written communication with a potential employer is proof read prior to submission. Correct errors in spelling and grammar. In phone conversations, be pleasant; get the salient points of the available position to ensure that the position is appropriate for you to learn more about. Make sure that the scheduled interview time is convenient regarding your schedule. Know the directions to the location of the interview, confirmed day and time, interviewer's name (pronunciation) and contact numbers. Find out the standard dress code for the employer and dress appropriately. Learn all you can about the company you are interviewing with and industry trends regarding the company. Prepare questions to ask during the interview including the responsibilities, requirements and challenges of the position, career development opportunities, company culture, financial fitness and future of the company. Try a dress rehearsal of your interview either thorough mock or virtual interviews or by reviewing past career accomplishments. Be positive and polite upon entering the company for the interview.

The Interview:

Enjoy yourself. Greet the interviewer in an up beat manner. Maintain eye contact. Be YOURSELF. Be truthful. You are being interviewed to see if your background "fits" the need of the organization. Remember that you are also investigating the company, position and interviewer to see if there is a "fit" regarding your professional and personal needs. You would like this to be a dynamic exchange of information so be thorough and concise in answering questions. Do not represent your present or former employers in a negative light. Try to get to know the interviewer. Ask them about their background and what they are looking for in a candidate. Make sure that you understand the current position needs and responsibilities COMPLETELY. Ask for clarification on any points that you are unclear. Get a fix on the companies culture and financial status. Find out the status of the search and timing of a decision. If the interview has gone well in your estimation and the position is of interest to you, make sure that the interviewer is aware of this. Ask the interviewer for their business card. Thank the interviewer for their time and consideration.

Post Interview:

While the interview is fresh in your mind, note your impressions and thoughts. Send thank you letters as soon as possible with spelling and titles correct.

 

RESUME TIPS

Preparing Your Resume for Interviews

  • You should provide a "clean" original, and use a standard style when creating your resume.
  • Some other helpful resume hints:
  • Use white or light-colored 8 1/2 x 11" paper
  • Provide a laser quality original if possible to the interviewer
  • Use standard fonts such as Times or Courier
  • Use a font size of 10 to 14 points that is easy to read
  • Place your name at the top of the page on its own line
  • Add your address information just below your name
  • Use boldface and/or all capital letters for headings

Things to Avoid:

  • Avoid fancy treatments such as italics, and shadows
  • Avoid vertical and horizontal lines, graphics, and boxes
  • Avoid two-column formats

Advice on "Key Words"

Recruiters and managers access the resume database in many ways, either to search your resume or search for specific experience.

Here are a few tips to get your resume noticed:

  • Use common heading such as: Objectives, Experience, Employment, Work History, Skills, Affiliations, etc.
  • Be concise and truthful
  • Use enough key words to define your skills, experience, education, professional affiliations, etc.
  • Describe your experience with concrete words rather than vague descriptions
  • Use more than one page if necessary
  • Increase your list of key words by including specifics
  • If room allows, describe your interpersonal traits and attitude
  • Use jargon and acronyms specific to your industry (spell out the acronyms)

NOTE: Most resumes are kept for one year.
