As an employer, you have a legal obligation to treat all candidates fairly during the interview process. An interview is a fantastic opportunity to ask questions about a candidate’s behavior, skills, and experience to learn if they are a fit for the job; however, you can’t just ask any question you want. 

The art of writing a resume has withstood the test of time. Resumes help employers find the perfect fit for the job they are seeking to hire for. The difference between now and back in the day? With online job boards and applications, employers are seeing A LOT more resumes; making it more important than ever to have yours stand out.

So you’ve got an interview date set, you’ve prepared all your answers to common interview questions and picked out the perfect interview attire. You’re thinking to yourself “I’m ready to go... Or am I?” What is it that you’re missing for your interview?

In any job, it is crucial to stand out from the rest if you want to advance. One trait that will help you shine is being teachable. 

The most important matter in any work environment is professionalism, and a large component of this is your professional appearance. Especially in New Home Sales, dressing conservatively and appearing well-polished will show your employers and customers that you are serious about your job, and will give you the confidence needed to close sales.
