American Express
American Express
Kerrie Peraino, Chief diversity officer
2010 Best Companies rank: 73
Current openings: 1,300
Opportunities exist in the charge-card business, premium co-branded cards, customer service, emerging payments, as well as in the merchant services group.

What should applicants avoid in an interview?
I would say a specific snafu related to AmEx is if someone can't speak about their relationship capabilities. AmEx is a relationship culture, and if you come in and can't talk to me about how you build and leverage relationships, it's not going to work.

Any résumé advice?
Keep it simple and clean. When a résumé is overcrowded and there's no white space, you can't jump into it. --Interview with Kerrie Peraino, Chief diversity officer
