Discuss what employers look for during an interview
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Interviews give employers the chance to go beyond the basic data of your résumé to get to know you and to answer two essential questions. The first is whether you can handle the responsibilities of the position. Naturally, the more you know about the demands of the position, and the more you've thought about how your skills match those demands, the better you'll be able to respond. The second essential question is whether you will be a good fit with the organization and the target position. All good employers want people who are confident, dedicated, positive, curious, courteous, ethical, and willing to commit to something larger than their own individual goals. Companies also look for fit with their individual cultures. Employers expect serious candidates to demonstrate an understanding of the company's operations, its markets, and its strategic and tactical challenges. You've already done some initial research to identify companies of interest, but when you're invited to an interview, it's time to dig a little deeper. Making this effort demonstrates your interest in the company, and it identifies you as a business professional who knows the importance of investigation and analysis.
