times during his or her career, which means a good amount of time is spent changing employment.
*Job searching and networking, along with staying on top of the job market, has become an integral part of
everyday work life, rather than something you do once or twice during your career.
QUESTION:
On average, how much time does a recruiter spend reviewing a resume before making a
decision on next steps?
Less than 7 seconds
*The more time spent reviewing your resume, the stronger your chances increase for selection.

Dress for successWear professional attire! • Women should avoid wearing too much jewelry or make up. • Men should avoid flashy suits or wearing too much cologne. • While a suit is the standard interview attire in a business environment, if you
think it is an informal environment, call before and ask. • Regardless, you can never be overdressed if you are wearing a tailored suit. • It is also important that you feel comfortable.
Be organized• Carry a portfolio notepad or at the very least a manila file folder. • Bring extra résumés and relevant supporting material. • Bring a list of questions for the employer. • Take notes but don’t lose focus!*You may refer to your list of questions to be sure you've gathered the information you need to make a decision.
AddendumEffective techniques and tips to prepare for job interviews
Be honestAn interview gives the employer a chance to get to know you. While you do want to market yourself to the employer, answer each question with an honest response.
Be positiveNever say anything negative about past experiences, employers, or courses and professors. Always think of something positive about an experience and talk about that. You should also be enthusiastic. If you are genuinely interested in the job, let the interviewer know that.
Show your interestBe enthusiastic! Be clear to show your interest but be aware of overdoing it.
Know yourselfTake time to review and recall your experiences. Remain authentic to your interests and present only the most accurate relevant information
