title: Resume writing and interviewing skills for getting the job you want.
abstract: Getting the nursing position you want is a highly competitive endeavor in today's health care environment. Knowing how to market yourself can make the difference between being hired and being overlooked. Two crucial elements of a successful job search are resume writing and interviewing. The purpose of a resume is to pique the interest of the reader and secure a job interview. The interview then provides a platform for the candidate to highlight his or her achievements and convince the employer that he/she is the best choice for the position. Resume development and interviewing must be approached with skill and knowledge. A well-written resume followed by a well-executed interview gives the candidate a strong advantage in obtaining the position he/she wants.
