Conversation Tip #10<br />

Be aware of the skills most employers are looking for, these days,<br />

regardless of the position you are seeking.<br />

They are looking for employees:<br />

who are punctual, arriving at work on time or better yet, early; who<br />

stay until quitting time, or even leave late;<br />

who are dependable;<br />

who have a good attitude;<br />

who have drive, energy, and enthusiasm;<br />

who want more than a paycheck;<br />

who are self-disciplined, well-organized, highly motivated, and good<br />

at managing their time;<br />

who can handle people well;<br />

who can use language effectively;<br />

who can work on a computer;<br />

who are committed to teamwork;<br />

who are flexible, and can respond to novel situations, or adapt when<br />

circumstances at work change;<br />

who are trainable, and love to learn;<br />

who are project-oriented, and goal-oriented;<br />

who have creativity and are good at problem solving;<br />

who have integrity;<br />

who are loyal to the organization; and<br />

who are able to identify opportunities, markets, and coming trends.<br />

So, plan on claiming all of these that you legitimately can, and prior to<br />

the interview, sit down, make a list, and jot down some experience you<br />

have had, for each, that proves you have that skill.
