1
00:00:00,990 --> 00:00:03,906
To land an interview for a job you want,
make sure your resume and
2
00:00:03,906 --> 00:00:06,520
online professional presence are in order.
3
00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:09,708
This will help you stand out from
the other applicants when you apply.
4
00:00:09,708 --> 00:00:12,222
Your resume is your first
introduction to a new company.
5
00:00:12,222 --> 00:00:15,778
Make sure your resume is easy to read and
clearly shows the recruiter or
6
00:00:15,778 --> 00:00:19,592
hiring manager that you're a strong
fit for the job you're applying for.
7
00:00:19,592 --> 00:00:22,490
Avoid using lots of filler
text in your resume.
8
00:00:22,490 --> 00:00:25,730
If you're new to the industry, you may
not have a lot to put on your resume, but
9
00:00:25,730 --> 00:00:26,480
that's okay.
10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,704
You don't need to list out every piece
of software you've used or networking
11
00:00:29,704 --> 00:00:33,410
protocol you've ever learned about,
stick to your relevant qualifications.
12
00:00:33,410 --> 00:00:34,960
Use a standard resume template and
13
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,317
be consistent with your formatting and
structure.
14
00:00:37,317 --> 00:00:40,440
Proofread your resume and
have someone else review it too.
15
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:41,546
You don't want grammar and
16
00:00:41,546 --> 00:00:44,510
spelling errors to be your first
impression with a potential employer.
17
00:00:44,510 --> 00:00:46,109
There's a lot more to say about resumes,
18
00:00:46,109 --> 00:00:48,550
so I've included more material
in the supplemental reading.
19
00:00:48,550 --> 00:00:51,480
You should also make sure you have
an up to date online presence.
20
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:55,764
Your profile should look professional and
have the most current resume, a photo and
21
00:00:55,764 --> 00:00:57,050
updated contact info.
22
00:00:57,050 --> 00:01:00,562
Don't forget to do this, employers
are using sites like LinkedIn more and
23
00:01:00,562 --> 00:01:02,170
more to reach out to candidates.
24
00:01:02,170 --> 00:01:04,751
Now, when you find a job
that you want to apply for,
25
00:01:04,751 --> 00:01:07,810
you want to learn as much
as you can about the role.
26
00:01:07,810 --> 00:01:10,870
First place to find this information
is in the job description.
27
00:01:10,870 --> 00:01:13,688
The description will usually include
the roles responsibilities and
28
00:01:13,688 --> 00:01:16,620
requirements and
some information about the company.
29
00:01:16,620 --> 00:01:20,570
Take some time to understand those details
and make sure it's a good fit for you.
30
00:01:20,570 --> 00:01:23,510
Feel free to ask your recruiter any
additional questions you have about
31
00:01:23,510 --> 00:01:24,541
the role or the company.
32
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,922
Knowing these expectations and
requirements,
33
00:01:27,922 --> 00:01:30,098
will also help you prepare for
the interview.
34
00:01:30,098 --> 00:01:33,600
For any IT role, make sure that you
know the fundamentals of IT really well,
35
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,885
and spend extra time reviewing any
specific areas that are called out in
36
00:01:36,885 --> 00:01:38,660
the job description.
37
00:01:38,660 --> 00:01:41,867
This program will get you started
with some of those fundamentals like,
38
00:01:41,867 --> 00:01:43,657
networking and operating systems, but
39
00:01:43,657 --> 00:01:45,934
you'll still need to do
some research on your own.
40
00:01:45,934 --> 00:01:47,764
On top of the specific job requirements,
41
00:01:47,764 --> 00:01:51,123
you should also take time to research
the company that you're applying to.
42
00:01:51,123 --> 00:01:54,711
Learn about the main characteristics of
the company, what their primary products
43
00:01:54,711 --> 00:01:57,970
or services are, who their customers
are and where they're located.
44
00:01:57,970 --> 00:02:01,490
Look for things that are new, interesting
and exciting about the company's future.
45
00:02:01,490 --> 00:02:05,020
Try to learn about some of the challenges
the company might be facing.
46
00:02:05,020 --> 00:02:08,228
If the company has a code of conduct or
mission statement online,
47
00:02:08,228 --> 00:02:11,921
make sure to read it, as it will
illustrate what the company prioritizes.
48
00:02:11,921 --> 00:02:15,401
Knowing the company's values will help you
decide whether it's a company you want
49
00:02:15,401 --> 00:02:15,957
to work for.
50
00:02:15,957 --> 00:02:18,878
Some of these facts may come up
during your interview, either as
51
00:02:18,878 --> 00:02:22,450
part of a scenario or in a question by
itself, so you want to be prepared.
52
00:02:22,450 --> 00:02:26,174
Lastly, once you have an interview
scheduled, make sure you know where to go
53
00:02:26,174 --> 00:02:30,010
when you need to be there and what the
appropriate attire is for the interview.
54
00:02:30,010 --> 00:02:32,419
This particular tip was
especially important for
55
00:02:32,419 --> 00:02:34,432
me when I first interviewed with Google.
56
00:02:34,432 --> 00:02:38,240
At the time, Google was in a temporary
space above a restaurant Inn Arbor,
57
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,065
a town I was not very familiar with.
58
00:02:40,065 --> 00:02:44,570
There was no sign or address, so when
I got there I had no idea where to go.
59
00:02:44,570 --> 00:02:46,530
Thankfully, I arrived
with some time to spare.
60
00:02:46,530 --> 00:02:50,632
So when I got to the right block for the
address, I went around to the back alley,
61
00:02:50,632 --> 00:02:54,570
found the address on the fire escape and
climbed into the second floor.
62
00:02:54,570 --> 00:02:58,330
The door was open and the woman behind it
was a little surprised to see me entering.
63
00:02:58,330 --> 00:03:01,780
Everyone had a bit of a laugh when I told
him I couldn't find the front entrance and
64
00:03:01,780 --> 00:03:03,626
I didn't want to be late for my interview.
65
00:03:03,626 --> 00:03:05,965
To this day, my manager still
talks about my entrance and
66
00:03:05,965 --> 00:03:08,180
says it showed him I was resourceful and
determined.
67
00:03:08,180 --> 00:03:09,350
Who knows?
68
00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:11,120
Maybe that's why they
decided to give me the job
