Companies hire people, not resumes
When you’re searching for a job you have probably spent hours working to make your resume the best it can be. Resumes are important. A resume is probably the biggest factor in whether or not you get invited for an interview. However, it is the person behind the resume who gets the job, not the piece of paper.
Don’t put all your time during a job search in resume preparation. You need to spend time getting ready for each and every interview, whether it is researching the company, practicing common questions, or preparing a list of questions for the interview. Relying too much on your resume is a common error job seekers make. The interviewer has read it and knows what it contains. They want to get to know the person behind the resume. He/she needs to know you have the background listed and can actually do what you say you can do.
Don’t rely solely on your resume in an interview – put in some time in interview preparation as well. Your resume isn’t going to do the talking during the interview – that’s going to be up to you.
