Dynamic Pre-Hiring Practices
The pre-hiring process can be a challenge. Much time and energy can be invested and in the end, wasted, if your approach is not focused, deliberate, and specific. The following approaches have resulted in meeting candidates that not only meet our specifications, but also regularly exceed our expectations!
Reviving Your Resume
A resume may not be who you are, but to a potential employer, it may be all they see of you and make or break your chance for your next interview.

All of the literature tells you to do this. But is this the job for you? Most interview articles don?t talk about when to walk away and not accept the job.

Eliminating all of these errors from your résumé will go a long way in improving your chances of securing an interview.
