Over the past few weeks I have been showing outfit examples and strategies to use to find interview attire at Goodwill. (See What to Wear to an Interview by Shopping at Goodwill and Tie Shopping at Goodwill for Your Next Job Interview). Having excellent interview attire is extremely important when you are face-to-face in front of employers, but articulating what you bring to the table professionally is what will get you the job you’re going after. Before you receive the opportunity to interview, you need to show employers what it is that makes you stand out as a candidate. Your resume is the best way to show employers how you’ve made an impact in your previous positions.
