What are your best resume or interview tips?

Rebecca stresses the importance of being specific on resumes, tailoring it to the job you’re applying for, and only including relevant skills.

Manuela recommends researching the company and reviewing interview questions. Alisha adds that “confidence and experience speak volumes in an interview!”
