Greetings!
According to The Job Hunting Handbook by Harry Dahlstrom, hiring managers want to clearly see that you can learn the job quickly, hear evidence that you will do the work, and feel comfortable that you are cooperative.
To satisfy hiring managers, prepare examples before the interview of how you have performed each of the duties and requirements for the job you want. Quantify the details to show just how big the job was that you performed. Finally, give examples of your good attitude, your coachability and your great people skills. |
