This program looks at the difference between getting an interview and getting a job offer. What are employers looking for and how do candidates convey that they have it? We will share insights into how to really analyze a job announcement and match your qualifications to the employers’ needs. After a brief group exercise examining sample resumes and vacancy announcements, a discussion will summarize observations about resumes including general tips from previous search committee members and hiring officials.
