Emphasize Your Best Qualities
From your resume to your interview, it is important to remember to highlight your best skills and qualities. Show off your skills in your resume and cover letter, know what employers are looking for, and dress for success to show you are ready to work.
Know Your Soft Skills
Know how your soft skills correlate with your technical skills, know how combining skills together can make you into a great candidate for a position, and gain confidence in explaining how you use your soft skills.
Do Your Homework
No matter what step of the job search you are at, it is important to do your homework. Know a little about the company, know what is expected within the industry, and be confidant about how you fit in with it all.
