Interviewing Tips
The interview is the most crucial step in the hiring process. It lends depth and personality to the resume. Expect difficult questions. Your response to different situations is being tested. Always be yourself and be prepared to provide thoughtful answers about your career decisions. An interview is a time to determine whether or not this employer will meet your professional needs, just as the employer is attempting to make a similar judgment about you.
