Resume???

[irnbru]

Your resume, or CV is probably more important than the interview as without a simple and striking CV you won't get the interview.

Think about it as a two step process. Most HR departments do. In hard human resources, a role specification is defined and boxes need to be ticked. It's not unusual for successful candidates to amend their resume specifically for the job they are applying for. Resume yes, interview yes, job yes.

Look at the job specification, the skills and qualities requested. Use the same language in your resume and adjust your resume appropriately. In the interview just talk positively about your experiences, bringing attention to what you have personally done which aligns with the role specification. One trick, is to say you have been involved with such and such projects, or such and such tasks, "For example...". Now the "For example..." is interesting, as if you are unable to provide specific instances of your own involvement (as might be expected in a competency-based sequences of questions) then by providing examples, you're not strictly saying you have done these things

There are lots of resume templates online to be found with a simple Google search. When including previous experience, it's often worthwhile to use the role spcification for your previous position, amending language to align with the role you are applying for.

Good luck!
