Q&A: Farewell, faux pas! Be your best employable self.


By Sara Sargent

We all have preconceived notions about how a resume should look and what information a cover letter should convey. But, seeing as most of us are not hiring managers or HR reps, we might be off the mark. Taz Wilson, on the other hand, is right on the mark. Wilson, who works at staffing agency AltaStaff, sees hundred of resumes and cover letters from people looking to find jobs. Below, she tells you how to polish that resume and what never to say in a cover letter.

The secret to a better interview

Tue, 10/21/2008 - 13:43 — altastaff

It's difficult to keep interviews on track. It's difficult for the interviewer and it's difficult for the interview candidate. There are so many reasons an interview can go wrong: stale coffee, an overcrowded mass transit system, a game that ends late the night before, ...planetary alignment. For all of the interviews which I've seen take a turn for the worst I've devised a simple strategy which seems to help turn an interview around, a perspective that helps to keep the interview on track.
