Though your Credit Union treats you like the individual you
are, other organizations may not be as cordial or friendly. That is why it is important
that when applying for a job, you stand-out (in a good way)! The following are some ways
that you can leave a meaningful impression on a potential employer.Prepare A Resume
Many companies have standard applications that must be filled out. In addition to
the application, attach a resume and a letter of application. These forms package your
skills and will sell them to the person or committee doing the hiring. For this reason,
they should both be on plain white paper, printed with black ink and should be very neat
and void of clutter and graphics. Before completing your resume and letter of application,
visit a local library. There you will find the resources to create professional looking
documents with a meaningful content, or visit www.myfuture.com.
This site has a program that will generate a resume for you.
How To Dress
Congratulations! You have a job interview! Now…what do you wear?
Some good advice is to dress as you would imagine the interviewer will be
dressed—but cleaner. Go for a natural and coordinated look. Favorite
"power" colors for job interviews are
GRAY and DARK BLUE.
Avoid excessive use of perfume, after shave lotion, or jewelry. It might be smart
to take a few minutes before the interview to visit the restroom and make sure your
appearance is in-check.
