It is essential that the work experience presented on your resume is relevant to the position you are applying for. The traditional chronological format is not always the best approach to take. Always think in terms of what the employer needs to see to take interest.

Going into an interview can be very intimidating. The night before you find yourself sitting nervously in front of the mirror, practicing just the appropriate way to sit, to laugh and to smile. You recite with just the right air of confidence your strengths and your achievements. You've got it down pat and you're ready to go. But are you? What happens when you are asked about your weaknesses? Do you freeze up, start stammering or change the subject? If so, then it's time to get prepared!

Creating the perfect resume, searching for job vacancies and graduate job opportunities, practicing interview questions and attending job interviews are all an important part of the application process when seeking out employment. While each of these components is an integral part of finding the right job for you, it is also important to manage your expectations during the application and interview process and to see each step as an opportunity to learn and grow, regardless of whether or not it results in a job.
