Let's imagine for a minute that you are the owner of a business you want to grow. You have everything in place except the key element, PEOPLE. What are some of the things you would look for when interviewing candidates who want to join your team? Think about this...you are the owner, and the success of the person you hire will either improve or decrease your profits. If it were me, I would want someone who understands the purpose and mission of my company. I would want them to be positive and engaged in work that leads to success. I would look for someone who is a self-starter who can work under pressure, lead through challenges, and stay engaged in their duties. Each of us is working to keep our jobs daily. If the business fails, so does our employment. When someone hires you, you have a duty to support the mission of your employer's goals and improve your skills to add more value to your daily workload. Learning should never end!
