Interview Tips

Finding a job, whether it is your first, a return to work after years at home, or just another step in your career, is never easy. Once you have located a job that seems "just for you", you have to make yourself stand out to the employer. You must stand out first on paper (the resume) and them in person when you get the interview.

What do employers look for in job candidates? What impresses them the most? According to surveys , following are five qualities employers want and expect in job applicants.

  1. Proven success
  2. Ambition
  3. Initiative
  4. Enthusiasm and high energy level
  5. Able to get along with others
Employers are looking for good workers. If you consider yourself to be an asset to a company, it is up to you to convince the employer of that fact. If you believe you can contribute to an organization, you must learn how to stand out from the rest of the pack and this begins by knowing what employers want.
