  • Match your skills to the employer's needs.
  • Research the company and be prepared to discuss your findings during the interview.
  • Demonstrate your willingness to try new things.
  • Practice time management and organizational skills.

Push yourself to the top of the competition by showing the employer you are the right person to hire.
