Interviewing: Do’s & Don’ts to Get You the Job

Ronnie Duncan President

Do > Resume• Have someone else review your resume! • Triple-check your work. Even a small update –

such as adding a recent job – can result in an error. Carelessness speaks volumes about your writing capabilities

• List your experience in tools, protocols, documents, and media

• Keep the resume to 2 pages or less• Include all relevant info in the resume (not just

the cover letter!)
