[xyz-ips snippet=”post-thumb-url”]Think you’re ready for your next job interview? There might be some things you haven’t considered.
A polished resume, a strong cover letter and a clean suit make for a good foundation. But are they enough?

So maybe skip your usual fragrance on the day of the interview, especially if you’re spending the day in a closed room.
Something else to avoid; arriving empty handed. Always bring several extra copies of your resume plus a notepad and pen to jot down some notes.
