I know what you must be feeling when you get a call for a job interview. Believe me I've been there. Jumping up and down, pacing the room with excitement thinking I'm going to be able to make rent after all.
But then after the interview a week rolls by and you call the employer back and they've filled all the positions. I've been there too. Heart sinks right to the floor and you're devastated.
Just as with the resume and cover letter in a job interview you're still marketing yourself. And in the interview the competition is even more fierce than simply giving the resume. After all in an interview you're competing against the best of the best qualified. You still need to be able to separate yourself from your competition.
There are ways to do that:
1. Job interview courses and books.
2. Job interview coaches.
The problem with them is that everybody else that's being interviewed has probably all read the same things.

How's The Job Search Going?
In this day and age competition for those scarce jobs is fierce. To quote a cliche "it's a dog eat dog world out there." You need to stay ahead of the pack and stand out.
Just about every HR department of every company gets inundated with resume after resume that whenever an opening comes up those who don't get called out number those who do by about 100 to 1
If you're one of the 100 you must be getting tired of pounding the pavement day in and day out.
In job hunting you're basically marketing a product - YOU. And in order to do that you want more than just bland statistics of your job history. You want and need to show the employer what's in it for them without padding your stats or lying.
