5 Things Hiring Managers Are Looking For
As you go embark on your job search and find positions that interest you, here are some tips to keep in mind during the process.
1. Make sure you meet most (or all) of the requirements.
If your experience and skills align with most, or all, requirements in a role’s job description, you'll have the best chance of landing the job.
2. Describe your achievements and proven results.
Use your resume to show off your best self. It shouldn't be a long list of every job you've ever had and project you've ever completed. Instead it should be limited to the achievements that best display who you are as a person and why you are the right fit for their role.
3. Check your resume for good grammar and accurate spelling.
An easy way to show a hiring manager that you have great attention to detail is ensuring that your resume has been thoroughly reviewed for things like spelling and grammar.
4. Do your research on the company you're applying to.
Do research online about the company you are applying to. Do your best to understand what they do and why they do it. Think about if their company values and cultural are a good match for you.
5. Prepare for your interview.
While you shouldn't try to memorize and recite answers, you can think about what information you want to be sure to share about your experience and skills. Be prepared to ask thoughtful questions about the company and the position that you are applying to.
