The purpose of a resume is to obtain an interview.  If the
resume is not well written and well organized, the job seeker
will not get into the company to present himself.  The resume
gives the first impression.  Make sure it is a good one.
	If your resume has been successful, you will get an
interview.  Once that interview appointment has been made, you
have work to do.  You need to learn as much as you can about the
company.  For current information on the company, read the
business section of the newspaper.  Go to the library and ask for
reference books that will give you additional information.  You
can obtain an annual report of many larger companies by calling
the company headquarters.  This annual report can give you a
wealth of general information.  Use every resource available to
you to obtain information.  Study the data you obtain so that
during the interview you can stress your abilities in terms of
what you can do for the company.
	The next step in preparing for the interview is to formulate
answers to questions that you may be asked about yourself.  Make a
list of questions that you feel the interviewer will ask you.
There are many excellent reference texts available that list
questions that are most frequently asked during the interview.
Form your answers to these most typical questions.  Having done
this, you will feel much more confident on the day of the
interview.
