Closing the Interview

If you are interested in the job then tell the interviewer! Let them see and hear your enthusiasm for the role and the company.
Sum up your value to the employer by detailing what ideas and strategies you will
   bring with you when you come aboard. The employer will select the candidate who
   demonstrates they can be up and running swiftly.
Ask for feedback. This is an important signal to the interviewer that you are able
   to take constructive criticism to improve yourself.
Outline the ‘next step’. If it was a first interview then ask the interviewer if they
   liked you enough to invite you back for a second.
If you have had a number of interviews then ask the interviewer what steps lie
   between you and job.
The final impression. Just as you entered the room with a smile and a handshake,
   make sure you genuinely thank them for the interview and shake their hand.

Four Resume Deal Breakers

Too Short: There isn’t enough information for the employer to gauge your skillset and you will be overlooked for the jobs you want.

Too Long: Besides making the purveyor of the resume look vain, having too much detail will confuse the reader. Short, sharp and concise information should be presented in bullet point form using key words to catch the readers attention.

Poor quality presentation: A misaligned layout and poor graphic design are signs of amateurism so spend time fine tuning the look of your resume. Never use clipart or any other pictures within the resume and only submit a photograph if requested by the employer.

Spelling and Grammar: Spelling mistakes and poor grammar are instant red flags for
most companies. It shows a serious lack in your attention to detail and gives the
impression you’re not serious about working.
