Focus. Focus. Focus.
Lauren Celano, CEO, Propel Careers wrote this article as a guest contributor for the MassBioHQ Blog.
Quite often, people ask me for advice regarding their job search and, in particular, whether there is something universal that companies look for. In my experience, there are a few universal qualities aside from the obvious (e.g. honesty, intelligence, hard work). One that comes up over and over again is "Focus." Focus is one of the most important characteristics that companies look for when evaluating potential hires. Moreover, focus is critical for all aspects of your job search, from start to finish.
Focus is more than applying for the right job. Focus is about knowing what you want to do, why you want to do it and, most importantly, being able to articulate your thoughts. This focus should be evident in your resume, cover letter, and social/on-line presence. If you can't make it perfectly clear why you are a good fit for a particular role, chances are you won't get a second look.
