good resume. It will help you create a great first impression.

employment, and educational details.

easy to read.

courses you have taken before.

restaurant you go to for dinner. Only enter necessary aspects
that the hiring manager must know.

instantly catch the eye of the reader.
 And last but not least, proofread your document. Make sure
your details are up to date; there should be no grammatical
errors.

interview:
 Read your job description carefully and analyze your qualifications. Find your unique selling point and
make convincing arguments as to why you are the best candidate.
 Research on the company and its role. Examine their purpose and explain your role in expanding their
mission.
 Fix your posture and speech. Make yourself presentable and formal.
 Make yourself familiar with some common questions like "Who do you want to work here?", "What are
your greatest strengths?", "What interests you in this role?" etc.
 "Tell us something about yourself" is a question that haunts all of the applicants. Oh, brother! What am
I supposed to say?! Chill and take a deep breath because this is one of the questions you can talk
nonsense and they might like it. Use your humor and talk about what you love to do, tell stories, and
most importantly, express yourself.
 And lastly, do not stress. There is nothing right nor wrong in an interview. It is just about expressing
yourself and showcasing your skills and talent. So take the step on the stage and speak!
