Ask for Feedback

The next time an opportunity fizzles, try following up with your interviewer. If they call back, ask for two ways you could improve. It could be your body language and delivery are undermining your message. Get feedback from friends. Share your cover letters and resume with peers or sympathetic professionals. Conduct mock interviews. Make your mistakes before they really count.
