Interview Advice
What Employers Want
"Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, 'What's in it for me?'" - Brian Tracy
What are employers looking for in employees? What traits are considered valuable? And will help the job seeker appear favorably during an interview?
Many surveys have been done in the past to determine what employers are looking for in employees. Certain attributes show up consistently in these surveys. The number one trait that employers stated that they wanted in employees was:
A good attitude
In this day of rush and hurry, and impoliteness, good people skills and the ability to communicate well with
others is extremely valued in the workplace.
Team players are needed, and employers are looking for those with the ability to work well with others. This means being able to work well with others and being supportive of co-workers, instead of sabotaging them or trying to make others "look bad" (often at the expense of the project or task). It also means respecting the thoughts and opinions of coworkers.
Griping at others, criticizing, blaming, or being known as "difficult" is not okay in today's workplace. Smiling, communicating well, and knowing how to be gracious and flexible is. Employers consider a positive outlook and enthusiasm for the job important, as well as taking responsibility for one's actions and personal integrity. Employers are looking for employees that they can trust, and whom they believe will do a good job.
Self-esteem and confidence are considered part of a positive outlook. Employees with a good attitude will contribute towards *****ing the company's goals, and adapt well to the culture of the workplace.
