Your resume is the most important document in any job search. But what if you're submitting resume after resume and receiving no results at all -- not even a call? Your resume may be fatally flawed.

How can a resume betray a job seeker? It's not just typos or poor formatting. "The biggest flaw for a resume is when it fails to showcase a person's accomplishments, contributions and results, and instead spouts a job description of each position he's held," says Lauren Milligan, founder of ResuMayDay, a resume-writing and career-coaching firm based near Chicago.

After the interview questions and answers are over – closing points!

Regardless of your interview style or how you choose to close the interview, there are some key points to keep in mind when practicing for the interview and closing the interview. After the Interview you will need to take time to reflect on these points and write down changes you would make during any future interviews.

1. Leave your interviewer with the right picture of you. (Think of at least five skills or traits you want remembered after the interview.) Choose something “concrete.” When you answer with, “I have great communication skills and I am a hard worker,” you will not stand out.

Finally, after months of your job search, an interview is booked.

Now is the time to learn how to excel at interview questions and answers. Thankfully, there is lots of online help, simply type into the search engine Interview questions and answers and explore and study all the examples that exist. Search through this information to look for common questions, take note of them, and write out concise answers to these questions.

Practice the interview situation with an honest friend; completely immerse yourself in the situation, dress as you would for the interview, walk, sit, and use appropriate body language. Get your friend to ask the questions and give your responses. Listen to your friends critique, practice some more, and try again, till you feel confident.
