New Arrival: 6 Reasons You'll Get the Job

6 Reasons You'll Get the Job: what employers look for - whether they know it or not

MacDougall and Sanders-Park, longtime career coaches, contend that, more than talent alone, employers scrutinize six areas when making hiring decisions, which are presentation, ability, dependability, motivation, attitude, and network (PADMAN). The authors help job seekers see themselves through an employer's eyes, noting that persuasion starts where the employer is. The applicant must step into the employer's shoes, determine what the employer needs, and devise a search strategy that highlights strength in each PADMAN area.
