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.
