Make sure that your resume well represents your skills. The way that you tell your story could make all the difference. Highlight skills you have that are wanted in that particular job. In the interview, know how to articulate your skills and experience. Practice with a an associate, friend or career counselor.

Do your research and be prepared to show an employer that you have done your homework about the company. Use the employer's Web sites and hunt down published articles about its business. Be able to tell the employer why you want to work there and what makes you a great match for its organization.

Network effectively. Carry your networking business cards all the time. Tell everyone you know that you are looking for a job, and also have them network on your behalf with people they know. Be flexible with your salary stipulation and geographic job-location preferences. In this tight job market, you may need to move to the job and take even less money than you think that you deserve.
