In her article “Six Reasons I Would Hire You,” Cindi Leive* states that interviewers will be impressed with the following six traits:
- You have done your homework about the company
- You have passions both professionally and personally about things you care about
- You look pulled together and look like you want the job in your appearance.
- You can think on your feet—a “relax, I have this” attitude when something goes wrong.
- You did not talk badly about your past employer
- You ask for the job….”This position sounds perfect. I’d love to work here.”
