Job Seeker Essentials #1
In your job search, it is important for you to know what kind of career opportunity you want. However, it is just as essential that you target what the employer wants in a potential employee. Over the next few weeks we will explore the key qualities that employers look for in candidates. Remember that you can portray these qualities both in your resume and in your interview. Here are the first few ideas:
* Ability Before an employer will invest a lot of time in a candidate, they first want to determine if the candidate can even do the job. Hiring managers often receive resumes from unqualified candidates, so they first establish a candidate's skill level based on their resume. Demonstrate your personal skill level by emphasizing your accomplishments, especially those related to the position.
* Initiative We've all heard the phrase "think outside the box." Employers are looking for candidates who think outside the box. Show that you are capable of taking initiative by explaining specific instances where you identified a need or problem, developed a plan, and carried it out to produce a solution.
* Leadership Leadership skills are not reserved only for management. No matter what level you are at in your career, you can be a leader. Explain a time when you took charge by identifying a cost-cutting strategy or finding a way to increase productivity.
