Welcome! During our Tuesday cohort meeting, panel speakers Ian Sherk and Jake Koppinger gave us some background about their companies, how they got to where they are and what they look for when hiring people.
What Are Employers Looking For?
Employers are paying more attention to attitude and effort than you would think. Both effort and attitude are always under your control, and they’re a determining factor in how you handle your job. Attitude is especially important because it affects you and the people around you. A positive attitude will help you get along with co-workers and mix with the company culture. Laziness can be detrimental to whether or not you get a job, so make sure that you are portraying yourself in a way that showcases the effort you have made. You need to be able to tell a story about your experiences, an approach that was successful and how your performance improved from this experience.
