More than anything else, employers look for people with great attitudes. I hired on energy and enthusiam as I could teach a person everything else, but if they did not walk in the door with energy and enthusiasm, they never would develop those qualities. I see perhaps a majority of people here who routinely express hatred toward employers, recruiters and jobs in general. Many punctuate their opinions with extreme spelling and curse words. They blame their life situation on others. Then curse and balme those hear to offer true and professional advise as idiots and mother fuckers! I held a job since 1969, rose within management to Director of Marketing Communications for 4 divisions before starting my own marketing communications consultation business. I am 66 and still serving clients. So if you choose not to listen to those who have worked, hired, fired, had to lay off, worked in recruiting and in all areas of business communications, that's fine, but I speak unvarnished truth. If you have a bad attitude and speak it, even if you are a genius, you will not get hired. Screaming fuck those mother fuckers will get you less than you have now, always, which might be cool at 20 but not so mcuh at 66.
