You’ve brushed up on body language, scoured your resume of clichéd buzzwords, and even gotten a handle on the dreaded video interview. You are now ready for your job search. But if you do not have the personality traits that most employers are looking for, this can be all might be for naught.
When a company is looking out for a candidate in a particular role, they are looking for someone who fits the job as well as suits the company culture. Hence, there is a set of certain qualities that the employers are looking in candidates. Here are top 5 qualities that the employers are looking for in candidates:
#1 Intelligence
Major portion of an employee’s contribution to the job he/she is at is analysed by the level of intelligence one possess. The ability to plan, get the job done, solve problems, set priorities and to organize things all are a part of your intelligence. Your practical ability to deal with day to day problems sums up your professional intelligence.
#2 The Ability to Lead
The desire to accept responsibilities, take charge and delivering the required results marks a leader. The employer expects you to have these qualities.
#3 Integrity
The ability to remain true to yourself and the willingness to accept your strengths and weaknesses shows your honesty with yourself. Accepting the mistakes that you have made in the past and the ability to grow over them is what the employers are looking for.
#4 Amiability
Employers like people who are likeable, warm, easy going and friendly. Employers look for someone who can be easily be the part of the team and have worked with a team in the past are welcomed easily.
#5 The Willingness to Take Risks
The willingness to take risks combined with taking challenges and taking up new assignments that have a high risk of failure. Also, the ability to speak and let your thoughts out on a difficult situation adds to this quality.
Above all, it is your character that is the sum total of all the positive qualities you have and how can they benefit you in getting a job. Use examples of these in your resume to create a solid first impression.
Excellent service from Andrew; I received a phone call as soon as I placed the order. It's a quick turnaround for a resume and cover letter. My new resume looks very streamlined and very clear. Thanks again, Andrew, for your help.
My resume was very dense and consisted of way too much information. Andrew Martin from Crisp Resume turned my CV into the most professional and on-point version of my career! Because of the detail to attention in my resume, I am no longer hoping for that interview but know it's a just matter of when! Thank you to Andrew and Team at Crisp Resume - HIGHLY Recommend!
I absolutely loved the resume and cover letter I received from Crisp Resume. The turnaround was incredible from my first phone conversation to receiving the draft and the finalised copy. Thank you so much to Ray Simon, you did a fantastic job.
