Today’s Job Advice
Fresh off my wife’s experience interviewing people for a new position. Four things her interviewees fell short on:
- Dress professionally
- Come with questions for the interviewer
- Understand the position you are applying for
- Bring a copy of your resume to your interview
Note: These were INTERNAL candidates and they still weren’t prepared.

Today’s Job Advice
Remember that job interviews are a two-way street. Make sure that you figure out if this is a job you want and an employer you feel comfortable working for. Don’t spend your interview just looking for ways that you can get the job. Use the interview to make sure that the job is a fit for you.
