Hi Joshua: "PREPARING FOR THE INTERVIEW" A resume is a must for any job interview, but other preparation is also necessary to win the job offers. You must prepare yourself further. You must try and distinguish yourself from other candidates. One way is to develop several different themes about yourself during the job interview. This will begin to emphasize your strong points and make a good impression!!As part of your preparation you should think of your 12 themes as a SALES MESSAGE. each will be designed to show your best skills and qualifications. This in turn leads you to a 12 point strategy that will enable you to sell your qualifications in any interview. Develop a personalized approach within your topics by thinking of specific examples from your background that correspond to each topic. You can practice with your answers with someone who will tell you the truth on how it sounds. Remember these are key messages about you for the interviewer.
