The document outlines common questions asked in a job interview and provides tips for writing an effective cover letter. It lists questions about the applicant's background, career goals, work preferences, and why they should be hired. It advises that cover letters specifically support each resume rather than repeating information, and should be carefully proofread. Finally, it provides homework of finding an international job posting to apply for with a customized resume and cover letter.

1. Questions to expect in a job interview:
•
Tell me something about yourself.
•
Why do you want to work for us? What do you look for in a
job?
•
Your resume suggests that you may be over-qualified or too
experienced for this position. What's your opinion?
•
In your current (last) position, what features do (did) you like
the most? What features do (did) you like the least?
•
What are your long-term career objectives?
•
What is your ideal working environment like?
•
Why should we hire you?

2. Writing a Cover Letter:
•
Cover letters are always written specifically for each
position and typically accompany a resume.
•
The cover letter should support the resume, not
simply repeat the same information that has already
been mentioned.
•
Take your time! Re-read what you have written and
ask for more opinions.
