Please note that all application documents should be appropriate for the job.

The interview is most often based on the application documents, or the information contained in your resume and cover letter. Therefore, you need to be aware of everything that is included in these documents. Of course, needless to say, what happens if you forget what documents you sent and what is worse, on what position .. The employer does not care that We laid20 application documents and do not remember where and what ... Such oversight is very frowned upon.

However, the basic information about it can greatly help the candidate prepare for the analysis of their suitability to work in this position.

What?◾ What qualities are required for the job?◾ What is the required knowledge and skills for the position?◾ Who will be your immediate supervisor?Analyze your own person for a particular positionTry to critically evaluate themselves and find features that will be useful for a given position.

Make a background check: verify with his/her references; investigate his/her work history, and; ask for valid credentials.  Should you find the applicant's CV questionnable, reject the application.
