7 ways to get you hired

7 Ways To Get You Hired



There are a few intangible qualities that make you more likely to land a position, and some ways to emphasize them once you start the job. Different roles require different skills and attributes. But the best employees are those who have some very important characteristics in common.
The top 7 are mentioned below.


An ambidextrous brain.  Success in business means being able to appreciate qualities, not just quantities. The intangibles of judgment, creativity, intuition and imagination are essential, because they are the things that make innovation happen. They’re just as important as logic, financial literacy and an eye for detail.


The ability to argue. An argument is usually a more constructive exchange than a conversation in which everyone wholeheartedly agrees with each other. If a leader is surrounded by yes people they learn nothing. Good people know how to stand their ground and make their case — even (especially) when others don’t want to hear what they’re saying.


Early adoption. Adopt new technologies, new thinking and new trends. This doesn’t mean that you abandon or undervalue the old, but it does mean that you are never wholly satisfied with the status quo, never stop learning and never stop driving your company forward.”


The will to win. You should really care about winning and losing. So you should try your best to always win.




The first 90-days on any job are critical to making a lasting impression. What can you do to succeed in those early days? 
Remember names. Be disciplined about this because it goes a long way during the first few weeks of a new job.



Ask questions. But ask the right questions, make sure your questions are thoughtful. Before starting a job, you should have done your homework: read everything about the company, learned its history, asked HR if there’s anything else you should know before starting.”


Deliver a quick win. Look for opportunities to score a quick win as soon as you get to your new job. Even if it’s a small task you can perform, it will still demonstrate an impact,”
