Learn how to make resumes and make great impressions with interviews. Theres a lot of resources out there. If youre fresh from college, job fairs and the writing center often have people that can review your skills in both.
I say this because just doing the resume right tells me someone at least is competent enough to learn how to format and hopefully type. I won't even screen people who put zero effort. Last week, I got a resume where someone just left indented and listed their experience. All same font, no sections... Just a list. Smh.
I'm not a manager but I've sat in on lots of interviews. I think the best candidates I've ever seen are the ones that are very conversational and talk like they've already worked there for a month. Sometimes candidates like that start an answer and we trail off, kind of shooting the shit (still talking about workb related stuff), and barely get through half the planned questions. Ones that get all the way through the questions aren't necessarily bad but they're very succinct and sound much more rehearsed, like it was an oral exam.
Just my 2 cents. Managers in here may totally contradict me.
Concur!
You have two of the three youre in good position for anything
