If you want to succeed on the Colorado job market, you need to be very careful how you present yourself. Make sure you look excellent, both on paper and in person.
Writing the resume and cover letter is often the easy job – you can take your time, ask for advice, check for examples online, etc. However, when you are in an interview, you cannot rely on anyone but yourself.
One of the biggest mistakes people make when going for an interview is complain. The interviewers are not really interested in hearing your hardship, but under the pressure of the moment you might be tempted to start complaining; about how competitive the job market is, about how hard it is to get a call back, about how many unsuccessful interviews you had, about how tiring networking events are, and so on.
Prepare some “go to” topics while getting ready for the interview and try to talk about them when you start to panic. You can research the company you are interviewing for, read a little about the history, its values and objectives. This will not only keep you from complaining, but will also show you have a genuine interest in the company, and this is always a card up your sleeve on the Colorado job market.
