When you interview for a job, know your resume, cautions Diana
LeGere, of Executive Final Copy "I have interviewed many people

The resume was written, and they simply delivered the goods.

Read your resume and be sure that you can back up each claim.
Lack of integrity is an easy way to be eliminated from
the competition."
