| Assignments Cover Letter Resume Follow Up Letter General Rules to follow: Be brief in your answers, the interviewer is not interested in lenghty explanations, but wants facts. Be positive, tell what you can do, not what you can't. This is your chance to sell yourself. The employer also wants to find out how much you want to work for the company. Be honest, don't make statements like these: "I guess I don't have any skills;" "I don't really know what job I would like to do ;" " Just give me a chance, I can do anything;" "I need a job so bad, I'll take any pay." |
