Keep in Simple.. Dont Over Do

Employment Tip

Dont Over Do anything - Keep it simple

This is for

1) Creating Resume
2) Appearing in Interview
3) During Demo sessions
4) Any formal communication

Too much show-off (over confidence) can harm you. Using too much jargons during commnication is one such example.

Yep, I agree. Go into an interview being humble rather than with your nose stuck up in the air pretending you know all. Talk softly and don't interrept the interviewer.

Re: Keep in Simple.. Dont Over Do

It's important to show your knowledge without appearing like a know-it-all. You don't want to appear hard to manage. It's a thin line to walk.

Re: Keep in Simple.. Dont Over Do

Those are all good suggestions. They determine a lot about you by the things you say in an interview. If you keep the resume simple it gives you something to discuss in the interview

Re: Keep in Simple.. Dont Over Do

True, but at the same time, don't hesitate to put in the most attractive selling points. You don't need to list every project and accomplishment, but realize you may not get the interview if the resume's not good.
