Interview Tips

Professor Interview Tips:

• Get the interview by tailoring your resume with the JOB DESCRIPTION they are looking for. USE those as key words and pepper your resume with them! - this will help you get the interview. Most large companies that receive a lot resumes use filtering software. Using the keywords helps you get ahead of that filtering.
• In the interview: DO NOT give personal information regarding family, religion, sexual orientation, it can only hurt you.  *   When the interviewer asks you "tell me a little bit about yourself" - they're not asking A/S/L ... they want to know how you pertain to the job. Remember that - & remember the job description they provided - hit those points. If it said "need enthusiastic individual" ..all of the sudden you're REALLY enthusiastic. If you're not "experienced" in a subject be experienced with the software needed to do the job (word excel etc) and tell them that. 
• Practice interview questions, you can get them on the internet, don't be lazy look them up.
