So here is that list. Your Enthusiasm : Employers want to know that you are willing and eager to be a part of their company. Being fully stocked with knowledge about the company is a sure fire way to show your enthusiasm. Your ability to speak clearly : If you approach an interview mumbling and speaking slang, a prospective employer will not see you as a professional. Showing your teamwork skills : You should show an example of your ability to work as a team during your interview. Leadership skills : You should show your leadership abilities by approaching your interview with an offensive train of thought. Problem solving ability : Employers needs to know that you can handle yourself when a problem arrives. Work related experience : You definitely want to show that you have some experience in the field already, so that the employer knows that you will not be overwhelmed. Community involvement : Employers love to see that you have done volunteer work. It shows that you take pride in your community, and a willingness to be a team player. Company knowledge: Again, this stipulates that employers like to see that you have done your research about their company. It shows that your interest in working for them is sincere. Flexibility : Employers want to know that you are able to go with the flow. It proves that they can depend on you later. Ambition and Motivation : Ambitious people are generally motivated enough to make great improvements in the company as they are working their way up the ladder. Ambition usually means more money for the company. People skills : Your ability to get along with others is very important to an employer. They need to know that you won't ruffle any feathers when you are hired. Professional appearance : Nobody wants a slob working in their office. Be certain to dress appropriately for the job that you are applying for. Ability to Multitask : This is getting to be a very necessary skill in the workplace. Most days, you will be required to multitask. Even if you are not, employers need to know that you can do it without freaking out on them. Computer ease : These days, just about every company in the world is running on computers. The ability to work a computer with at least minimal amount of ease is important. It is best to keep a leg up on the most common software like MS Office, Quark Express, and Linux. Reliability : Employers want dependable and reliable people to work for them. Your ability to arrive on time is a good place to start when trying to prove that you possess this quality.
