When asked what they look for in potential employees, many employers respond by mentioning all or most of the following traits: • a CV and cover letter • demonstrated initiative and in approaching the employer • following up with the employer to schedule interview. Employers look for more than technical or specific job-related skills when hiring new employees. Knowing these characteristics and being able to identify them in yourself will enhance your success at interviews and increase your chances of getting the job that you desire. Certain characteristics that are highly desirable to employers are: • excellent skills • strong written and verbal communication skills • problem-solving skills • proven ability to well with co-workers • dedication, reliability and good For an interviewer to identify your strengths in these areas, they need to ask behaviour-based or situational questions such as “Tell me about a time when you had a conflict with a co-worker, and how you resolved it.” This type of question is becoming more and more common in interviews. Make sure to offer examples when asked open-ended questions. Answering with just a “yes” or “no” leaves the employer wondering if you truly stand behind your answer.
