 In job interviews, you have to be prepared, for you are not the only one on the hot seat; the interviewer on his part may also have some reservations on his own about hiring new employees. As an interviewee, you may always get nervous like it's the first time. (despite how many interviews you've had) But did you know that job interviewers may also feel the same? Well, not in the same way of feeling nervous like you, but in the amount of responsibility that entails; the interviewer may feel there's a heavy pressure on his shoulders choosing the right person for the job. After all, they don't want to make the wrong decision, right?
That's why YOU--as the interviewee, you got to make him/her feel that you're the right man for the job. Pay close attention to your resume before you hand it in. Take note that the interviewer is basing a lot on your resume before he even saw you in person for the interview.

Your resume is the first prospective connection between you and the employer. Your resume is also something she holds on to, assessing early on if you're a competent candidate qualified enough for an interview.
When you prepare your resume, makes sure it is something which tells the manager, "I'm the person you're looking for" or something to that effect.
Okay, so what happens if your resume does not enlist the experiences that the company is looking for? You can always offset by citing specific examples of your strengths and/or contributions you've done to your company. You can indicate in your cover letter which begins with positive phrases like, "I'm at my best when...
then continue with describing a specific situation wherein you
used your strengths to the max, and how the company can make the most of these strengths, so that you'll definitely be an asset and what you can contribute to the company is highly valued.
When you're called for an interview, be prepared to cite 3 concrete examples of how you utilized these strengths and how you know it would help.
