Local Job Alert: Hook the Interviewer

Openings this week for tutors, tax preparers, physical therapists and more.

Job interview tip of the week: "Find a hook… You might think that the hobbies and special skills you put on the bottom of your resume are just fluff. Really, they are conversation starters. Interviewers often begin by asking you about the things you do outside of work, such as your time spent living abroad, your collection of petrified wood, or your black belt in karate. More often then not, they will find a common interest, a shared experience, or something they want to learn. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with your interviewer," according to psychologytoday.com.
