Resume Techniques
Presenting Yourself on Paper

A resume is many times your first introduction. As you search for employment, you will find in most cases a resume will be required as part of the initial application process. Employers receive hundreds of resumes for open positions and must eliminate all but the most promising. The trick is to be informative, yet avoid reasons for your elimination.

Dressing for the Successful Interview
Tips on making a good visual impression.

First impressions do count! You are preparing for a job interview, not a night on the town. Once you've decided what to wear, make sure that it is clean and pressed, free of stains and not missing any buttons. If you are unsure of appropriate dress, check out Clint Greenleaf's Attention to Detail: A Gentleman's Guide to Professional Appearance and Conduct or John Molloy's New Women's Dress for Success.

While you may think the suggestions are somewhat traditional, it is always better to err to the conservative than to appear garish. One of the tricks to a successful interview is to avoid creating reasons NOT to be hired.
