 1 page ◦ Save details for in person interview  Defend resume ◦ Anything you put could be probed  Different resumes ◦ Customize by branches of statistics (health, business, survey, etc.)  Formatting! ◦ Have it looked at by career center / mentor  Cover letter ◦ Do one if the option is available and tailor it to the specific job

 Research the company  Practice  Listen carefully ◦ Take a moment to collect your thoughts  Be prepared for a few technical questions ◦ Especially for programming jobs ◦ On the spot tests!  Relax!  Ask questions!

 We are fortunate to have many qualified candidates apply to each of our positions. We have reviewed the qualifications of each candidate and after careful consideration, we have determined that the credentials of other candidates may better fit our needs at this time.
