Don't defend your resume. But, the typical interview quickly disintegrates into a discussion about the candidate's resume. Tell me about this company you worked for. Your mission in the interview is not to defend that piece of paper. It's to explain and show how you will use your skills and abilities to help the manager tackle the problems and challenges he's facing in his business.
Few managers know how to take an interview past the resume.
It's up to you to keep the interview on track. If you don't take control of the interview, you'll lose. Focus on the work to be done. Don't defend your resume. Inc. All rights reserved.
