An Interview with Chuck Sambuchino

Interviewing 101
HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR INTERVIEW By now, you have likely already submitted your resume, but if you haven't, be sure to update it and check for any errors. FUN FACT: The most common mistake made in a resume, is spelling and grammar errors. Make sure you know ahead of time who will be conducting your interview and what kind of interview it will be (one-on-one, panel, Skype, etc.) Do your research! Find out what you can about the company and the position you're applying for, so that you arrive at your interview prepared. Practice your responses to questions. TIP: Record yourself answering questions so that it is easier to observe anything that needs improvement. Dress to impress! This one has increasingly become controversial in that some people believe that you shouldn't be judged based on your outfit. While I agree, most employers do consider this an important part of determining whether or not you are a right fit for the job. So for now, make sure you look professional and presentable! Plan accordingly. Make sure you have right address of where the interview will be taking place and account for traffic, as well as parking. TIP: Try to arrive 15 minutes early. Make extra copies of important documents such as you resume, your CV, a list of references, any certifications, etc. Also ensure that you have both a pen and notepad to take to the interview.

Chausson d’Or Ballerina Gracefully En Pointe
Nina Tonoli is one step away from becoming a Principal Ballerina. The Belgian born soloist has trained her body to be a storyteller for over a decade now. For her dedication, she’s earned the Special Prize Chausson d’Or in Paris and the Award of Excellence in Dance from the Royal Ballet School in London. Ballet and purpose met early for the 25-year-old. “At 10 years old, I went to a local ballet school to do my first ballet class. Since then, I’ve never stopped.” Nina’s first performance was Sleeping Beauty where she played a dwarf. Today she dances for the Dutch National Ballet.

A Sweet Fire in the Eye
When it comes to digital art, I want to make sure that everyone identifies what Robert Wilson and his Artstellations brand brings to the table. Yes, there is great detail, and there is a textured dedication that can be recognized in his work, but what is not known is that Robert is also a full time active duty soldier in our military defending our great country everyday. With the world everchanging with politics, Robert still makes a point to create, and it’s in digital art that you will see him shine.

Tick Box
Sometimes, it is necessary for us to put ourselves into categories. This may be frustrating, we may not know where to place ourselves. There is a good chance that, when given a 'tick-box' exercise, we fit in to multiple categories—or even that we do not feel we meet the criteria for any of the choices offered to us.

Ways to Boost Your Resume
What Does a Good Resume Look Like? A good resume catches the reader’s attention at first glance. If you know the term, “dress to impress” this does not only apply to the way that you dress, and look when you walk out the door to do something big in your life, but it also applies to creating a resume. Considering that most employers only spend on average, 30 seconds to a minute to look over the resume, appearance is everything. Especially in the world that we live in currently, the surface of things is what matters to most people.
