General Tips To Overcome An Interview

So what if you are not a mountaineer. Or a keen hiker. You still cannot treat your
interview like a careless morning trot along a jogger's path. Your jaw-jaw at the
interview table is nothing less than a cautious climb up a mountain trail--which
begins around your early childhood and meanders through the years at the academia
before reaching a new summit in your career.And as you retrace your steps down
memory lane make sure that you post flags at important landmarks of your life and
career, so that you can pop them before the interview panel scoops them out of you.
You don't want to be at the receiving end, do you?

Face the panel, but don't fall of the chair in a headlong rush-and-skid attempt to tell
your story. Take one step at a time. If you place your foot on slippery ground, you
could be ejecting out on a free fall.

So prepare, fortify your thoughts, re-jig your memory, and script and design your
story (without frills and falsity). Without the right preparation and storyboard, you
could be a loser at the interview. Here are a few preparation tips that books on
interviews sometimes overlook.

Before the interview

1.Chronological Outline of Career and Education Divide your life into "segments"
defining your university, first job, second job. For each stage, jot down :

The reason for opting certain course or profession; Your job responsibilities in your
previous/current job; Reason of leaving your earlier/current job. You should be clear
in your mind where you want to be in the short and long term and ask yourself the
reason why you would be appropriate for the job you are being interviewed for and
how it will give shape to your future course.

2. Strengths and Weaknesses

You should keep a regular check on your strengths and weaknesses. Write down
three (3) technical and three (3) non-technical personal strengths. Most importantly,
show examples of your skills. This proves more effective than simply talking about
them. So if you're asked about a general skill, provide a specific example to help you
fulfil the interviewer's expectations. It isn't enough to say you've got "excellent
leadership skills". Instead, try saying:

"I think I have excellent leaderships skills which I have acquired through a
combination of effective communication, delegation and personal interaction. This
has helped my team achieve its goals."

As compared to strengths, the area of weaknesses is difficult to handle. Put across

your weakness in such a way that it at leaset seems to be a positive virtue to the
interviewer. Describe a weakness or area for development that you have worked on
and have now overcome.

3. Questions you should be prepared for

Tell us about yourself.
What do you know about our company?
Why do you want to join our company?
What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Where do you see yourself in the next five years?
How have you improved the nature of your job in the past years of your working?
Why should we hire you?
What contributions to profits have you made in your present or former company?
Why are you looking for a change?

Answers to some difficult questions :

Tell me about yourself ?

Start from your education and give a brief coverage of previous experiences.
Emphasise more on your recent experience explaining your job profile.

What do you think of your boss?

Put across a positive image, but don't exaggerate.

Why should we hire you? Or why are you interested in this job?
Sum up your work experiences with your abilities and emphasise your strongest
qualities and achievements. Let your interviewer know that you will prove to be an
asset to the company.

How much money do you want?

Indicate your present salary and emphasise that the opportunity is the most
important consideration.

Do you prefer to work in a group?

Be honest and give examples how you've worked by yourself and also with others.
Prove your flexibility.

4. Questions to As

At the end of the interview, most interviewers generally ask if you have any
questions. Therefore, you should be prepared beforehand with 2-3 technical and 2-3
non-technical questions and commit them to your memory before the interview.

Do not ask queries related to your salary, vacation, bonuses, or other benefits. This
information should be discussed at the time of getting your joining letter. Here we
are giving few sample questions that you can ask at the time of your interview.

Sample Questions

Could you tell me the growth plans and goals for the company?
What skills are important to be successful in this position?
Why did you join this company? (optional)
What's the criteria your company uses for performance appraisal?
With whom will I be interacting most frequently and what are their responsibilities
and the nature of our interaction?
What is the time frame for making a decision at this position?
What made the previous persons in this position successful/unsuccessful?

5. Do your homework

Before going for an interview, find out as much information on the company (go to
JobsAhead Company Q and A) as possible. The best sources are the public library,
the Internet (you can check out the company's site), and can even call the company
and get the required information. The information gives you a one-up in the
interview besides proving your content company or position.

Clearing the interview isn't necessarily a solitary attempt. Seek assistance from
individuals who are in the profession and whose counsel you value most. Be
confident in your approach and attitude; let the panel feel it through your
demeanour, body language and dressing.

Getting prepared for your interview is the best way to dig deep and know yourself.
You will be surprised that it would breed a new familiarity become more familiar with
your own qualifications that will be make you present yourself better. All the best and
get ready to give a treat.

The Interview

Interview is an opportunity for both the employer and the applicant to gather
information. The employer wants to know if you, the applicant, have the skills,
knowledge, self-confidence, and motivation necessary for the job. At this point you
can be confident that the employer saw something of interest in your resume. He or
she also wants to determine whether or not you will fit in with the organization's
current employees and philosophy. Similarly, you will want to evaluate the position
and the organization, and determine if they will fit into your career plans. The
interview is a two-way exchange of information. It is an opportunity for both parties
to market themselves. The employer is selling the organization to you, and you are
marketing your skills, knowledge, and personality to the employer.

Interview Preparation

Research is a critical part of preparing for an interview. If you haven't done your
homework, it is going to be obvious. Spend time researching and thinking about
yourself, the occupation, the organization, and questions you might ask at the end of
the interview.

Step 1: Know Yourself

The first step in preparing for an interview is to do a thorough self-assessment so
that you will know what you have to offer an employer. It is very important to
develop a complete inventory of skills, experience, and personal attributes that you
can use to market yourself to employers at any time during the interview process. In
developing this inventory, it is easiest to start with experience. Once you have a
detailed list of activities that you have done (past jobs, extra-curricular
involvements, volunteer work, school projects, etc.), it is fairly easy to identify your
skills.

Simply go through the list, and for each item ask yourself "What could I have
learned by doing this?" "What skills did I develop?" "What issues/circumstances have
I learned to deal with?" Keep in mind that skills fall into two categories - technical
and generic. Technical skills are the skills required to do a specific job. For a
laboratory assistant, technical skills might include knowledge of sterilization
procedures, slide preparation, and scientific report writing. For an outreach worker,
technical skills might include counselling skills, case management skills, or program
design and evaluation skills

Generic skills are those which are transferable to many work settings. Following is a
list of the ten most marketable skills. You will notice that they are all generic.

• Analytical/Problem Solving
• Flexibility/Versatility
• Interpersonal
• Oral/Written Communication
• Organization/Planning
• Time Management
• Motivation
• Leadership
• Self-Starter/Initiative
• Team Player

Often when people think of skills, they tend to think of those they have developed in
the workplace. However, skills are developed in a variety of settings. If you have ever
researched and written a paper for a course, you probably have written
communication skills. Team sports or group projects are a good way to develop the
skills required of a team player and leader. Don't overlook any abilities you may have

When doing the research on yourself, identifying your experience and skills is
important, but it is not all that you need to know. Consider the answers to other
questions such as:

• How have I demonstrated the skills required in this position?

• What are my strong points and weak points?
• What are my short term and long term goals?
• What can I offer this particular employer?
• What kind of environment do I like? (i.e. How do I like to be supervised? Do I
like a fast pace?)
• What do I like doing?
• Apart from my skills and experience, what can I bring to this job?

Step 2: Know the Occupation

The second step in preparing for an interview is to research the occupation. This is
necessary because in order to present a convincing argument that you have the
experience and skills required for that occupation, you must first know what those
requirements and duties are. With this information uncovered, you can then match
the skills you have (using the complete skills/experience inventory you have just
prepared) with the skills you know people in that occupational field need. The
resulting "shortlist" will be the one that you need to emphasize during the interview.

It is also in your best interest to identify the approximate starting salary for that
position, or those similar. There are several ways to find out about an occupation:

• Acquire a copy of the job description from the employer (Human

• Resources/Personnel) or check with Student Employment Services. If you are
responding to an advertisement, this may also supply some details.

The Career Resource Centre has general information files on a variety of occupations.
Make sure you have read through the appropriate file and are updated on the
occupation. If you belong to a professional association related to the occupation, use
its resources. These associations often publish informative newsletters and sponsor
seminars. It is also a good way to meet people working in the field. Conduct
information interviews with people working in the field. Read articles about people in
the occupation, and articles written by people in the occupation. Sources include
newspapers, magazines and the internet. Find out what the future trends are in the
area. Is technology changing the job?

Step 3: Know the Organization

The more you know about an organization, the better prepared you will be to discuss
how you can meet its needs. Some of the characteristics that you should know about
an organization are:

• Where is it located?
• How big is it?
• What are its products and who does it serve?
• How is the organization structured?
• What is its history?
• Have there been any recent changes, new developments?

There are a number of ways in which you can access this information. Most medium-
to large-sized organizations publish information about themselves. You can access
this a number of ways:

• On campus at the Student Employment Services (company literature and

business directories) or at the Drake Centre Library
• The Winnipeg Centennial Library has a business microfiche with information
on over 5000 Canadian companies and business directories
• Many companies have internet home pages which you can locate by searching
by industry and company name
• Finally, you can visit or phone the organization and request some information
on their products, services or areas of research

If the organization is fairly small, or fairly new, there may not be much information
published. In this case, it will be necessary to do an information interview. Contact
someone within the organization, introduce yourself, explain that you are considering
moving into the field, and ask if it would be possible to meet with him/her to inquire
about the company/organization and about what exactly the position would involve.

Step 4: Prepare Questions

Having completed your background research, you are now ready to prepare
questions to ask the

interviewer(s). Try to think of questions for which the answer was not readily
available in company

literature. Intelligent well thought-out questions will demonstrate your genuine

interest in the position. Be

careful how many questions you ask, however, as too many can imply you feel the
interview was not

successfully run. Pick your questions with care - this is your chance to gather
information, so ask about

what you really want to know. Avoid sounding critical by mentioning negative
information you may have

discovered. This is one of the most effective ways to compare different employers, so
for issues of

particular importance to you (for example, whether they support staff upgrading),
you should ask the same

questions of each employer. Some sample questions are:

• What are the most significant factors affecting your business today? How have
changes in technology most affected your business today?
• How has your business/industry been affected by the recession?
• How has your company grown or changed in the last couple of years?
• What future direction do you see the company taking?
• Where is the greatest demand for your services or product?
• Where is most of the pressure from increased business felt in this company?
• Which department feels it the most?
• How do you differ from your competitors?
• How much responsibility will I be given in this position?
• What do you like about working with this organization?
• Can you tell me more about the training program?
• Have any new product lines been introduced recently?
• How much travel is normally expected?
• What criteria will be used to evaluate my performance?
• Will I work independently or as part of a team?
• How did you advance to your position?
• What are the career paths available in this organization?
 • When can I expect to hear from you regarding this position?

It is very important to ask the last question because employers want to hire
individuals who are interested in the position - and asking this question definitely
helps to demonstrate interest on your part. Exercise judgement when asking
questions to an employer. When being interviewed by a large company that has a
high profile, one would not ask the question

"What is the history of your company and how was your company started?" You can
find the answer to this question in the company's annual report or articles in
magazines/newspapers. However, small- and medium-sized companies do not always
produce publicly available annual reports and it may be difficult to access information
on the company and its role in the industry. This question is appropriate if you have
exercised all other ways to find out the answer.

PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE-UP BEFORE YOU ENTER THE INTERVIEW ROOM

For your first few interviews your background is important - your

school, the medium and the place you studied in, all serve to give
the interviewer an idea about you. Carry a copy of the bio-data that
you have already sent, and the interview letter. Keep the extra copy
with you, just in case. Show the interview letter to the
receptionist/interviewer to establish your credentials, but keep this
letter with you. This gives you, for your future reference, a time
and date record of your interview, gives the official address of the
company for further correspondence and clarifications, and may give
you the name and designation of the person you are to report to.

Carry everything you need for the interview in a neat folder - do not
have loose papers cascading to the floor because you are desperately
hunting for the degree certificate, while the interviewers drum their
fingers impatiently. And don't carry your papers in a plastic or
cloth shopping bag either: invest in a good folder, plastic or even
leather.

Incidentally, don't feel shy or hesitant about calling up the office

and getting details about location, landmarks/bus routes/other
information to help you reach the venue of the interview. Again, if
it is not a "mass" interview, where lots of people are being
interviewed on the same day, and you do have a genuine difficulty
about reaching on the scheduled day/time, many employers will re-
schedule if you ask them nicely enough. The reverse is also true: a
good impression is created if you take the trouble to inform the
interviewer that you can/will not attend the interview. If you are in
the same town go and "case the joint" - see where the
office/interview centre is, and how long it will take you to get
there.

Always arrive at least fifteen minutes before your scheduled time -

that gives you time to catch your breath in case you climbed the
stairs too fast, allows you to compose yourself and not be too
nervous, and to check out the competition. If the interview is in the
offices of the company itself, this also allows you to get a "feel"
of the company. See how comfortable you feel, how efficient the
interview process is. Says a lot about what the rest of the company

When you are facing a panel of interviewers, make your best

moves.

Whether you are searching for jobs, looking for career avenues or climbing the
corporate ladder, you can't escape team interviews these days. The problem is that
such interviews don't have a pattern to them. They come in different forms. You
could be facing your prospective team members. Or you could be up against the top
brass—HR vice-president, the section head, the operations chief. Or you could also
be sent to a recruitment assessment centre for multi-parametric evaluation
(psychological tests for pressure-handling abilities, team-player skills and so on).

Try these ten tips for surviving, and scoring, in a team interview.

GIVE VARIETY TO YOUR ANSWERS

Remember you might be interviewed by different panels. Don't give a stock

answer to all of them. They'll be comparing notes.

Repackage your skills so that they sound different. If you're showcasing project X as
your major achievement in your present job before one team, talk about project B
before another interview panel.
A technical team will tune in to techie talk; an HR team would rather hear about your
interpersonal skills.

FINE-TUNE INTERPERSONAL SKILLS

Pull out the stops on your group management and group presentation skills.

Interviewers are people after all. Look for the personality type underscoring each
interviewer.Then try and connect with each one of them without getting personal.
Usually the best way to make contact is to project values that you feel you can share
with your interviewers.

DON'T QUAKE IN YOUR BOOTS

• Interviewers are not ogres. They are looking for excuses to hire you, not spill
your guts.
• Don't be obsequious. That conveys low self-esteem.
 • If you face your interviewers with fear in your eyes, they won't like what they
see. They are NOT sadists.

PREPARE FOR STRESS

• You'll be up against a time crunch in a team interview.

• In one-on-ones, the interviewer might be taking notes, allowing you little
breathers. No such luck with four people firing questions at you. Use stress
control techniques to soothe your nerves. You might even use the extra
adrenaline to sharpen your responses.

SHOWCASE THE IMPORTANT THINGS

• List seven important things that fit the job description of the advertised post.
Prepare to present skills that fit such traits.
• It helps to talk to friends familiar with the job description. You can even ask
them to prepare tests that you can take from them.

REHEARSE WELL

• Put together three family members or friends with diverse personality traits.
• Recreate the formality of a team interview situation and ask them to fire
nonstop questions at you. That will serve as a useful practice session.
• Ask for serious feedback, especially about weak areas in your answers.
Questions about qualifications and work experience are usually generic, so
what your mock team asks you is bound to be pretty close to the real stuff.

CREATE A MENTAL PICTURE OF YOURSELF

Boost your self-confidence by seeing yourself as star performer who's a cut

above. See yourself answering with elan the questions you expect. Then
replay your answers and ask yourself these questions:

• How interesting were your observations?

• Did most of your responses begin the same way?
• Did you use 'we' often, suggesting team-player attributes?
• Are there traces of humour in your responses?

ASK GOOD QUESTIONS

• Research is integral to a good interview performance. Find out as much about

you can about the company concerned. Browse the Net, check company
reports, put together news clips.
• Armed with your background brief, ask relevant questions about the company.
• If you think you have a bright idea about any ongoing activity, try this: "Did
the company consider this option ..."

LOOK BEYOND THE OBVIOUS

 • Your interview team has some core queries about you. It's these they want
you to address. Try and look beyond the upfront questions to decipher their
exact intent. Then respond to fill in what the team is really looking for.
• Flesh out your answers to focus on the team's concerns. If they ask you about
your perception of the company's ESOP policy, they want you to present your
expectation from a stock option plan.
• Answer in sync with the general tenor of the interview. If your work involves
individual research besides team work, don't go overboard about team-player
abilities. Balance your answer. Mention how sometimes individual work is
more productive though team work is needed to put into action ideas
generated by individual research.

Move through Question Papers

Facing the technical interview of a company is an uphill task. It all depends on the mood of the interviewer and to
an extent on your appearance. If he is in a bad mood, the interview can be really tough. Otherwise you might
have a slight consideration. Be prepared for any questions from every section of your skill set. If the interviewer
goes to a part of your skill, which you are not comfortable with, try to divert his attention to some other part in
which you are an expert. Try to explain things in a simple way and be precise in your answers. If you don't know
an answer admit it. DO NOT try to make up and answer. That might lessen your chances of getting through.

Nine Tips For Team Inter View.......

Whether you are searching for jobs, looking for career avenues or climbing the
corporate ladder, you can't escape team interviews these days. The problem is that
such interviews don't have a pattern to them. They come in different forms. You
could be facing your prospective team members. Or you could be up against the top
brass—HR vice-president, the section head, the operations chief. Or you could also
be sent to a recruitment assessment centre for multi-parametric evaluation
(psychological tests for pressure-handling abilities, team-player skills and so on).
Try these ten tips for surviving, and scoring, in a team interview.

GIVE VARIETY TO YOUR ANSWERS

Remember you might be interviewed by different panels. Don't give a stock

answer to all of them. They'll be comparing notes.

Repackage your skills so that they sound different. If you're showcasing project X as
your major achievement in your present job before one team, talk about project B
before another interview panel.
A technical team will tune in to techie talk; an HR team would rather hear about your
interpersonal skills.

FINE-TUNE INTERPERSONAL SKILLS

Pull out the stops on your group management and group presentation skills.

Interviewers are people after all. Look for the personality type underscoring each
interviewer.Then try and connect with each one of them without getting personal.
Usually the best way to make contact is to project values that you feel you can share
with your interviewers.

DON'T QUAKE IN YOUR BOOTS

• Interviewers are not ogres. They are looking for excuses to hire you, not spill
your guts.
• Don't be obsequious. That conveys low self-esteem.
• If you face your interviewers with fear in your eyes, they won't like what they
see. They are NOT sadists.

PREPARE FOR STRESS

• You'll be up against a time crunch in a team interview.

• In one-on-ones, the interviewer might be taking notes, allowing you little
breathers. No such luck with four people firing questions at you. Use stress
control techniques to soothe your nerves. You might even use the extra
adrenaline to sharpen your responses.

SHOWCASE THE IMPORTANT THINGS

• List seven important things that fit the job description of the advertised post.
Prepare to present skills that fit such traits.
• It helps to talk to friends familiar with the job description. You can even ask
them to prepare tests that you can take from them.

REHEARSE WELL

• Put together three family members or friends with diverse personality traits.
• Recreate the formality of a team interview situation and ask them to fire
nonstop questions at you. That will serve as a useful practice session.
 • Ask for serious feedback, especially about weak areas in your answers.
Questions about qualifications and work experience are usually generic, so
what your mock team asks you is bound to be pretty close to the real stuff.

CREATE A MENTAL PICTURE OF YOURSELF

Boost your self-confidence by seeing yourself as star performer who's a cut

above. See yourself answering with elan the questions you expect. Then
replay your answers and ask yourself these questions:

• How interesting were your observations?

• Did most of your responses begin the same way?
• Did you use 'we' often, suggesting team-player attributes?
• Are there traces of humour in your responses?

ASK GOOD QUESTIONS

• Research is integral to a good interview performance. Find out as much about

you can about the company concerned. Browse the Net, check company
reports, put together news clips.
• Armed with your background brief, ask relevant questions about the company.
• If you think you have a bright idea about any ongoing activity, try this: "Did
the company consider this option ..."

LOOK BEYOND THE OBVIOUS

• Your interview team has some core queries about you. It's these they want
you to address. Try and look beyond the upfront questions to decipher their
exact intent. Then respond to fill in what the team is really looking for.
• Flesh out your answers to focus on the team's concerns. If they ask you about
your perception of the company's ESOP policy, they want you to present your
expectation from a stock option plan.
• Answer in sync with the general tenor of the interview. If your work involves
individual research besides team work, don't go overboard about team-player
abilities. Balance your answer. Mention how sometimes individual work is
more productive though team work is needed to put

How to write that Winning Resume for your Dream job

If you are a new entrant in the job market, you need to perfect your resume before applying for
your 1st job

Since you are fresh out of college, use your education as your strong point. Aggregate %, CGPA,
accolades, club participation, etc. will be your focus.

"Do I really need a resume? What should I write in my resume?"

These are questions which worry every college graduate looking for his/her first job. Welcome to the
real world! Yes you really need to make your resume and how you present yourself in that resume
will go a long way towards getting you your first job.
It's a myth that resumes of entry-level graduates are unimportant because they lack the 'pull' of
experience. Nothing could be further from the truth. Not only is a well-made resume important for
every job seeker, it is more critical for entry level graduates. A resume is a mirror of your
professional identity. A well-defined resume impresses a recruiter. A sloppy resume immediately
proclaims the candidate to be sloppy.

Here are some do's and don'ts on what makes a great resume for graduates seeking entry-level
positions in industry.

OBJECTIVE
One of the most frequently heard complaints made by recruiters about entry-level resumes is that
they lack a specific objective. Resumes of fresh graduates have fuzzy, general objectives or no
objective at all. Mentioning a specific objective is by far the most important feature of an entry-
level resume. Without goal clarity you are bound to drown in the sea of mediocrity.

The only thing worse than the absence of an objective is a vague objective. Something like "My
objective is to work with a dynamic company which will fully utilise my talents…" is a complete no-
no! This objective is worthless because it gives the potential employer no idea about your goals or
your direction.

Your objective should be clear, well-defined and short-not more than 10-12 words.. It should be
aimed towards getting a particular position in a specific industry. Thus your objective should talk
about the following:
1. Position wanted
2. Functional area
3. Industry wanted

Examples of good objectives:

Example 1: "Junior management position wanted in PROGRAMMING/ engineering field in IT
industry.'
Example 2: GET in position in the manufacturing field.
Example 3: Entry level programmer in a software development company.
Example 4: Marketing position in the FMCG segment of a Multinational Company.
Example 5: Multimedia software development position. Open to Relocation.
Example 6: "A position as a Production supervisor with a petro-chemical company."

SUMMARY
Summary is the second most important factor that is conspicuous by its absence in resumes of
entry-level graduates. It is a good idea to include a summary of your resume after having
mentioned your objective. This sums up your resume in a nutshell and gives you an opportunity to
highlight your strengths. It invites the recruiter to read your detailed resume. The summary should
consist of 4-5 specific points-either bulleted or in one paragraph.

Sample Summary 1:

• B.E (Computer Science) from IIT-Delhi, in 2000.

• Course in Computers Database programmes Oracle 8I & VB6 from PENTASOFT in 2005.
• Consistently good academic record.
• Good analytical and communication skills.
• Have worked on a curriculum project "XXX XXXXX XXXX"

Sample Summary 2:
"Masters in Computer Application with specialisation in J2EE/Web Technologies. Great operational,
communication and computer skills. Good academic record throughout. Among the top three
students out of a batch of 120 students. Undergone Industrial training in a top petrochemical
Company.
EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS
Most fresher resume doesn't suffer from space constraint . However it is a good idea to include only
those educational and professionals qualifications which are relevant. Put your qualifications in a
reverse chronological order. i.e. the recent ones first followed by earlier ones. Entry level resume
should also mention the names of their school and college, years in which they passed their board
examinations. However, include your marks only you have shown a good academic performance.

WORK EXPERIENCE
An entry- level resume cannot compete with resumes of experienced workers in the area of work
experience. But don't forget to list internships, voluntary work and summer training that you have
undertaken. How you present these is very important. Make sure you clearly define your duty and
responsibilities during this training.
E.g.: "Worked as a summer trainee in India's largest Oil Refinery. I was working for the system
control department. Wrote quality reports as well as ISO features for the company." Any projects
done for your school or your college should also be mentioned.

DESIGN
Follow a simple design, which gives maximum information in the minimum number of pages. Use an
easy to read and commonly used font like 'Times New Roman' or 'Verdana.' Limit your font size to
10-11. Do not underline heavily.

WORD USAGE
Simple language, lucid expression with good grammar is the thumb rule. Watch your tenses
carefully. Use short and simple sentences. And never-ever make the mistake of using long words
just to impress the recruiter. Flowery words are for speeches, keep them away from your resume.

OUCH! THE TRUTH HURTS

There are many things we would rather not write in our resumes. And while writing a resume the
strong temptation to stretch the truth (or simply lie through our teeth) can be quite overpowering.
But just stomp on the temptation. Most companies opt for a reference check during recruitment.
Your resume is considered a legal document and fudging up small details may cause you great
embarrassment in your career.
All right! so you've made yor resume. But this is not the time to sit back and relax. There are some
important post-resume do's left.

CHECK, AND RE-CHECK!

The most important post resume step: Read and re-read your resume for any mistakes. Check the
facts, the grammar, the spellings. After you have checked it, get you parents, friends, teachers to
check it for you. One small mistake may cost you your job.

And finally...mom is right you know! Do not procrastinate over anything, specially making your
resume. Most fresh graduates prefer to leave the unappealing task of resume making till the last
minute i.e the day before their first interview. However, remember that making great resumes take
time and effort. And the rewards will last you a lifetime
