Electronic Resume Tips:
1. Avoid using italics, bold, and bullets. You want to make your text as plain as possible.
2. Use easy to read fonts that do not make the words run together.
3. Use buzzwords/keywords. Using keywords that are used in the industry can demonstrate your familiarity with the position and the overall job field and will help you match your skills to their posting.
4. Place the more impressive features of your resume near the top so that it stands out over the rest.

What to Say?
Interview Tips: A successful interview is critical to securing employment. Read about some great interview tips in our recent article "The Three C's-Cool, Calm, and Confident."

Practice Good Nonverbal Communication

It's about demonstrating confidence: standing straight, making eye contact and connection with a good, firm handshake. That first impression can be a great beginning -- or a quick ending -- to your interview.

Dress for the Job or Company

Today's casual dress codes do not give you permission to dress as "they" do when you interview. It is important to look professional and well-groomed. Whether you wear a suit or something less formal depends on the company culture and the position you are seeking. If possible, call to find out about the company dress code before the interview.

Actively Listen

From the very beginning of the interview, your interviewer is giving you information, either directly or indirectly. If you are not hearing it, you are missing a major opportunity. Good communication skills include listening and letting the person know you heard what he/she said. Observe your interviewer, and match their style and pace.
