Employers want "A" players

Competition is high. But, even in the most candidate friendly markets, employers want top candidates.

  1. Get your game face on – Identify what differentiates you from the competition and market that to employers.
  2. Offer solutions and alternatives – Show the employer you understand their challenges and have thought of possible solutions and alternatives. Articulate what you can do for the employer.
  3. Balance confidence with humility – Employers are looking for confidence and assertiveness, but an ego too large to fit in their organization will scare them away.

How are you showing employers that you are an "A" player?  Share you comments below.
