aephi alum,
keep your resume fresh. anytime you are assigned a new "duty", put it on your resume. if you like the company you are with but not so much the poistion you are in, keep your eyes and ears open.
also, i got the resume of a gentleman who was in his 40s who had recently decided on a career change. he went back to college and got a degree. he came into the interview very energetic with such a positive attitude. even though we both knew he was over qualified, he let me know right away that he had no problem starting off at the bottom with my company and i knew that with his attitude, he would move up to something in his field quickly and i would love to give him a foot in the door.
personality DOES count. during an interview, a major thing i look at is their personality and if they would make a good fit with our department. if they are eager to work, and flexible with time, if they are personable.
firm handshakes DO make a great impresssion.
DONT list ministers or family members as references. these people cant really give objective but DO list people you have worked with (not just worked who you have worked for).
