Resume Update: Your resume is your most important job search tool. Check it every month or so to ensure it’s presenting your skills in the best possible way.

• Keep it short.
• Quantify you value; Employers understand numbers
• Emphasize language skills
• Use a professional sounding e-mail address
• List internships

 Interview Attire: You want to look as professional as possible when interviewing for a job. Avoid these blunders:

• Odd hair color
• Visible tattoos and body piercing
• Short sleeves
• Strappy, open toes shoes

 Interviewing Tips: Your interview is your one chance to make an impression.

• Tell a story. Your interviewer wants to know about your skills and experiences, but he or she also wants to know about you. Work your answers into stories or anecdotes about yourself.
• Don’t talk about money or benefits during the first interview.
