Things to Bring to a Job Interview

A job interview gives you the opportunity to showcase your qualifications to an employer, so it pays to have everything you might need. The following information provides some helpful hints.

• Social Security card
• Government-issued identification (driver’s license)
• Résumé
• References
• Transcripts

Quick & Easy MBA Resume Writing Tips

A resume gives you the opportunity to showcase your qualifications to an employer, so it pays to prepare a sound one. The following information provides some helpful hints.

• Ok, we’ll start with the obvious: Name, address, e-mail address, and telephone number. They need to be able to reach you in order to hire you.
• Employment objective. State the type of work or specific job you are seeking. Reassure them them – very briefly – that you are actually interested in the job they are offering.
• Experience, paid and volunteer. For each job, include the job title, name and location of employer, and dates of employment. Briefly describe your job duties. Talk about the things you did “for them” that help make you stand out “for the people who want to hire you”
• Special skills, computer skills, proficiency in foreign languages, achievements, and membership in organizations. Remember that you may be competing with many ohters who can do the job too. What else do you bring?
• Education, including school name and address, dates of attendance, major, and highest grade completed or degree awarded. Consider including any courses or areas of focus that might be relevant to the position.
• Keep it short; only one page if at all possible. You are marketing yourself and there is a valid sales reason why 99% of ads are short, and 1% are infomercials – buyers (those hiring) have short attention spans.
• Avoid long paragraphs; use bullets to highlight key skills and accomplishments.
• Have several people review your resume for any spelling or grammatical errors. These errors are employment killers because they spell l-a-z-y.
• References, only when requested.
• Print it on high quality paper.
