Your resume is your first impression and the way you are dressed when arriving to the interview is your second impression. It is said that 55% of another persons' perception of you is based off how you look. You want to show employers that you take pride in your appearance.

What to say? What to do? Here's advice to ace your interview!

 A lot of people find interviews very intimidating. It can be nerve wracking to be face to face to someone and answer questions that can either make or break you. Have no fear! Here are some tips that will surely help you to be confident about your next interview.   First and foremost - BE ON TIME FOR YOUR INTERVIEW ! This is very important! Your first impression is everything to the hiring manager and he/she won't be too pleased to be waiting for you; especially if they have other people scheduled to interview that same day. Remember this: to be on time is to be late, but to be a little early is to be on time. For example, if your interview is scheduled for 1:00 p.m, don't arrive at 1:00 p.m on the dot. Arrive at least 15 minutes earlier to get yourself together, go over your resume, and familiarize yourself with the place if possible. BE PLEASANT . That doesn't mean to have a big ole grin on your face, but don't look as if you sucked on a lemon. RESEARCH...

Cover Letter

The saying "You learn something new everyday" is so true. The first job opportunity I received was through Summer Youth Employment Program. The program was pretty straight forward. I worked 25 hours a week, which was 5 hours a day and I was compensated for my work bi-weekly on a Visa debit card. I worked in a nursing and rehabilitation center as an Activities Director. One good thing about the Summer Youth Employment Program was it didn't and still doesn't require any work experience. It actually gave me the experience I needed to create a resume. Realize how I only mentioned resume.  It wasn't until now taking this student development class, that I finally know what a cover letter is and what it's used for. The simplest way for me to explain what a cover letter is, is it's your resume put into words. There's a heading, greeting, 3 body paragraphs, a closing, and your signature.  There are three types of cover letters. The application...
