Interview Tip: Plan to show up to your interview 10-15 minutes early. This way, if there is a slight delay in your day it still won't make you late!

After landing an interview, study the job description to truly understand what the interviewer is looking for. If the description calls for attention to detail, tailor the discussion accordingly. Knowing this, discuss examples from previous jobs that will exemplify this trait.

As a candidate, you should be very familiar with your resume. In an interview, anything on your resume is at the interviewer’s disposal. It is your responsibility to convince them that you can come in and do the job. Speaking intelligently about your work history will help.

Interview Tip of the Day: Follow up quickly! After the job interview, send a thank you note (email is fine) to the interviewer. The key is to do it promptly after the interview, within 24 hours. Many hiring decisions are made quickly these days, so timeliness is very important.

“There’s never a second chance to make a first impression.” Building rapport is such an important job interview strategy. Shake hands, make eye contact, and smile. Put all three together when you meet your interviewer and it will set a positive tone for the rest of the interview.

Getting together a “job interview kit” is a great interview strategy to follow. Suggested items for the kit include extra copies of your resume, directions to the office, a bottle of water, pens, and notepad. Being prepared for anything shows that you will be prepared once hired.

Interview Tip of the Day: Be Yourself! A common mistake that many candidates make is not being themselves. You'd be surprised how easy it is to detect insincerity during an interview. Thus, it is important to be professional, but also maintain your true essence.

Interview Tip of the Day: If the company you are interviewing with sells a product or service, familiarize yourself with the brand beforehand.

Interview Tip of the Day: Google search common interview questions in your field. Prepare answers to these questions and practice. Use websites like Glassdoor to see what to expect in your interview. You might even find specific interview questions asked to past candidates!

On the first Friday of March, companies across the United States celebrate Employee Appreciation Day! It's our goal to help everyone find a job they love and will be appreciated at...BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT! Not feeling the love at work? Get searching on find.jobs!

Interview Tip of the Day: Study the company! Knowing the current events, goals, and changes within the company is important so that you can ask pertinent questions. This shows that you have done your homework, and also have a genuine interest in the company.

Interview Tip of the Day: Practice interviewing with friends or family. Ask your friends if they can mock interview you. Practice takes away the nerves of actually doing an interview.

Job Search Tip of the Day: Only keep relevant work experience on your resume. The hiring manager’s attention is valuable. You don’t want to waste their time by including work experience that won’t help your chances at getting the job.

Job Search Tip of the Day: Use advanced search filtering while using job search engines. Filtering down by role, location, and salary can save you time by only showing you the jobs you care about.

Job Search Tip of the Day: Check your network to see if you have any contact in companies you are looking to work for. A referral will go a long way in the job placement process!

Job Search Tip of the Day: Take a look at your social media to see if there is anything “unprofessional” that would be seen as a problem by a hiring manager. Employers will sometimes check out your digital footprint during the interview process.

Job Search Tip of the Day: Create several different versions of your resume tailored for the different jobs you are looking to apply for.

Job Hunting Tip of the Day: Follow up with your interviewer after the interview. Thank them for their time, and mention anything else you deem relevant.
