No matter what part of a career you find yourself in, it’s helpful to update your resume and brush up on your interview skills. Start by reviewing the eight words you should never use to describe yourself (and learn what to say instead) as well as the new rules and strategies for interviewing virtually. You should be prepared to deliver a personalized message and be ready with specific questions, especially if the job you’re applying for is remote (that goes for hiring managers, too). There’s plenty more advice on all aspects of the job search, so subscribe and you won’t miss a trick.
