Tips on writing your resume.

Interview tips. I have learnt that you should best dress in dark colours when going for an interview particulary grey, grown, black and blue. If you are wearing a blouse or shirt, it should be either white or baige. When you arrive at the interview, give the interviewee a frim handshake, look them into their eyes (a trick, if you cannot look them in their eyes stare at their nose, they will think you are actually looking at their eyes). Do not under any circumstance carry a purse or have your certificate in a brown envelope, instead invest in a good briefcase which can fit all your commodities. When you stand, have your hands at the back and when put your hands together on your lap as thou in a praying mode. It exhibits confidence.

Remember to find out all you can about the firm in order to be able to ask most questions in indepth. Do not summarise answers instead have a mock interview with your family and friend and when at the interview let the answer flow naturally. Good luck
