Great on Paper...Terrible in Person!!

A fabulous resume will help get your foot in the door to interview you for your dream job position; however, it would be such a tragedy if you were to arrive not looking as clean and sophisticated as your resume represents. Anybody can have a strong and professional resume, but it takes a unique person to arrive looking chic, refined and confident. For example, an exaggerated example nonetheless, look at Amy Winehouse, on paper she is a Grammy Award winning singer and song writer, she has sold millions of albums…But, have you seen her lately? She looks and acts like a total train wreck! Who would ever hire her if she were to represent their company? Now, I doubt you will ever arrive looking as dreadful as her, but take note of yourself before you leave for the big interview. First of all, make sure you have dressed appropriate for the position you are interviewing for, i.e. if you are interviewing for a Fashion Director position with a well known Magazine, make sure to dress with the latest trends on the market. You would show the interviewer you can represent the company in a classy and fashionable way. Second, practice you non-verbal communication skills; try not to cross your arms, smile, sit-up strait in your chair, and walk with your shoulders proud! Finally, be self-assured and take pride in your resume and your accomplishments, the interviewer will be please how positive you are about yourself.
