They should have a “story” that will accomplish this end. Further, they should not tell the prospective employer what they–the applicant–are looking for; rather they should tell the employer what they can do for that employer–what need they can fill. Like a good book, as they proceed through the interview they should be creating in the mind of the interviewer an image of them performing in the interviewer’s organization.

When you go to a job interview you go there for an opportunity to earn. Not for an opportunity to learn.

I’d add: Your resume is your marketing tool. It’s function is to get a hiring manager or recruiter to contact you. Make it easy to read, neatly formatted and succinctly worded. Don’t overlook the cover letter. If you are open to relocation, have some connection to the company or any other related piece of info, make sure you mention that.
Make sure you complete and properly format (proper nouns, punctuation and grammar count) your name, number, email address etc in applications. Nothing worse than not being able to contact a candidate and first impressions count.

My wise colleagues above have covered alot of ground….
I would add, when you are in the interveiw say “I want this job” . This is pretty basic but often goes unsaid. I am looking for folks who truly want to work for my company.

Everyone says “network” but remembering that the reputation of the person who intro’d you is also on the line is essential! Thanks.
