Interview Cheat Sheet

This is a document you prepare before important meetings. It is a personal briefing to you, from you. It helps you remember key facts, such as your major accomplishments, and serious questions or concerns. You don't read from the sheet, but you do keep it handy, and if convenient, you may want to review it as your meeting is ending to be certain you didn't forget anything critical.
