1. Your work history: Focus on your recent work history or relevant history – not your whole career.
2. Sell your experience! The most important asset to a new employer is experience applied tactfully and appropriately.
3. Promote your relevant transferable skills. These would include skills in customer service, communication, sales, and organization
4. Show your technical skills. Share what you know about software relevant to the position you are applying as well as technical skills you may need. Be sure to use current technical terms to demonstrate your knowledge.
5. Overqualified? Of course, you are! Use this point to discuss why you want this particular job. Maybe you want to get your foot in the door of this particular company, perhaps you need a less stressful position, or you see an opportunity to help the company expand. Whatever your reason for applying, be prepared to explain why you want the job.
