Raquel Elle Bell I was thinking about these things because I was mentally preparing for a Strategy facilitation with a client that is coming up, and it just got me thinking. Do companies really know what they stand for? 1. What are you doing to ensure people know what you stand for? 2. Can People you do business with articulate what you stand for accurately? 3.

Sometimes I see companies doing things that just catch me off guard and make me think why in the world are you doing that.. Like GM and Chevy creating muscle cars when the world is looking to be more responsible.. It seems that some companies are so out of touch.

Robin Mills In the past, I have utilized a "brag book" of sorts while on internal and external interviews - it's a collection of complimentary e-mails, certificates/awards that I have achieved, examples of work cited on my resume, as well as excerpts of performance reviews.

Also, see if you can use your people skills (which, if you have tons of positive feedback from former coworkers, I'm pretty sure you have in spades) to come up with a great list of questions to ask the interviewer. If you can engage the interviewer with your questions, your personality--it's like the 'show don't tell' concept in writing. Show the interviewer that all those brags are true by being interested in them, in the job, and just yourself.

I created a textbox bordering the left side of the resume with a muted-color background (i used a pale, muted green since I'm in a 'green' industry) and within that text box, I put a few short - but great! - excerpts as quotes. My last interview (which was for a promotion) was successful and human resources said it was a unique approach to saving his time yet tooting my horn from the words of my old bosses.
