Throughout our lifetime, we will apply for multiple jobs and go through several job interviews. How do we make ourselves stand out against the other candidates through these job interviews and through our applications? The first step of course is making yourself stand out on paper. Creating the best possible resume is an important first step to getting a job. The skills and experience need to be written in a way that exemplify your qualifications for the position. Another paper document that is important is your cover letter. The cover letter not only provides information regarding your skills and abilities, but it gives the employer the opportunity to see a sample of your writing as well as a sample of your personality.
The second step is of course the interview. It is important to maintain confidence and to be prepared for possible questions that may ask in your interview. Prepare by doing mock interviews with peers and get comfortable answering questions with other people. Make sure you understand all of the job requirements and that you are prepared to answer questions and demonstrate your knowledge and ability to perform these functions. If we can portray our strengths and make ourselves stand out, we will be able to land the job.
Brady, this is good advice. Although I do not like to role play very much, it is a good thing to do before going into an interview. The more practice the better. Good luck should you choose to apply to the Job in SLC.
