Study the job description and align your resume to match.

The goal is to align yourself to the job description as much as possible, but don’t stretch the truth.

If a job description is available, and it has a detailed list of functional skills, prepare on paper how you match the skills to answer how you fit the description – and be prepared to answer any areas where you fall short of the requirements.

In a lot of cases, job descriptions are a wish list for an ideal candidate that may not even exist, so don’t be intimidated if you fall a bit short.

If you’ve made it as far as the interview, you’re at least in the running.
