Interview Questions
Whether you are the person being interviewed or you are conducting the interview, a lot of preparation is required. When you have a limited amount of time to assess a fit for a position, the questions you ask/answer are very important.
The best way to be confident when going into an interview is to be prepared. We have compiled a list of questions you may face in an interview situation. In addition to this list, make sure you research the company. The interview team will see that you are not only interested in the position, but also the company.

Preparation is important not only for the candidate, but also for the interviewer. Prior to the interview, the interviewer should identify the core competencies required for a particular role. We provide a list of targeted areas to help you further assess a candidate's fit for a particular role.

Resume Writing
It stands to reason that writing a good resume is a crucial element in your hunting a desired job. A good resume will attract the attention of the hiring professional and secure a job interview. The purpose of a resume is to disclose your accomplishments and qualifications to a potential employer giving you a chance to be invited for a face to face meeting.
Think of your resume as a promotional brochure about you. It is also an example of your communication and organizational skills. A well done resume is itself another reminder of what kind of valuable employee you would be. Likewise, a sloppily produced resume is a terrific way to get yourself taken out of the running before it even starts.
We have created a template to assist you in writing a clear summary of your career path and the impact you have had in each role.

Interview Etiquette
Etiquette is a very important part of interviewing. Appearance is also important, but should not be overplayed. Always dress appropriately, but in these days of casual business attire, a full-blown three-piece suit may not be necessary. Interviewers like to see someone who came prepared to impress, but who also knows how to fit in with the culture. If you're unsure of the typical dress code of a company, wear a simple, conservative suit.
Positive body language and the ability to maintain eye contact also play a big role in interviewing. Slouching and glancing around the room (as opposed to looking at the interviewer) give the impression that you are nervous and not genuine about what you are saying.
Always write a thank you note the day after your interview. In it, thank the interviewer for their time and recap a particular point of interest during your conversation. A separate note should go to each person with which you interviewed. In doing this, you show your interest in the position. It may not win you the job, but ignoring this rule of interviewing etiquette will virtually guarantee you are not the successful candidate.
