“I think that the idea of “Will Before Skill” is important in that the personality and drive of job seekers will trump skill-based accolades on resumes. A candidate with a passion for a job who is humble and coachable is extremely important to the success of that position and person. When interviewing, make your intentions known. Sell yourself and be confident, but don’t act too personally. Keep your professionalism and show why you want the position and your desire to grow.”

Landing the job you’re applying for requires thoughtful preparation and a compelling presentation of your unique personality. Researching the role and company thoroughly is essential, tailoring your resume and cover letter and practicing confidently articulating your skills and experiences during interviews. Equally important is maintaining a positive attitude and demonstrating a genuine eagerness to learn and grow in the position. Combining thorough preparation, a confident yet personable demeanor and a passion for professional development increases your chances of standing out and receiving a call back for your dream job.
