Everybody knows that the first step to securing a job is a compelling and convincing resume that grabs the attention of a prospective employer. But most people don’t realize how important it is to put your best foot forward as you take that next step, the job interview-otherwise you’ll blow your chances and walk away empty-handed.

The Problem: You’ve got the education, experience, and references, all presented on a well-put together resume that gets you job interviews. But you never get a job offer.

The harsh truth: Most recruiters and potential employers know within the first five minutes of an interview whether you’re right for the job. Even before you have spoken one single word, you are judged by what you look like. The mind and “gut feel” works so fast that within a few minutes a decision has already been made.

The Solution: First impressions can get you in the door, but you also want to stay. You’ll have an advantage by knowing what recruiters and potential employers are looking for and how they think.
