Verdana, Times New Roman.

properly on different devices.

projects, customer satisfaction, project planning, stakeholder communication, 

cross-functional teams management, strict deadlines, budget constraints, etc.

description or desired field and then carefully include those words and phrases 

into your resume, cover letter or online profile to highlight the specific 

skills and experiences that are necessary for the job requirements.

5 Things You Should Never Say in a Job Interview

 1. My last company's boss was really bad.

Never ever badmouth a former employer in an interview even if you 

really had a really bad boss. You need to be very careful about 

what you are saying especially when you are explaining why you have left 

your last company.

2. The answer to this question is on my resume.

If you are asked about a particular job or experience, answer clearly 

without mentioning that everything is given in your resume. A hiring manager 

wants to see your communication and social skills. So, use the opportunity to 

show your skills even if the required information is written on your resume. 

3. My next goal is to start my own business.

Most employers want to hire people who are willing to work for them for a long time.

If they know that you have a plan for starting your own business shortly then they 

probably won't offer you the job.

4. Do you want to see my references?

If an employer wants your references, he or she will ask for them.

5. I don't have any question to ask.

You should show interest in the company you have come to give job interview for.

Not having any question for the interviewer shows that you’re not interested in 

the company you want to work for. Prepare a list of important questions to ask the 

hiring manager so that the employer understands you are keen to join the company.
