In about a year I hope to graduate from college with a BBA with a major in marketing from Walsh College. The reason I started this blog was for my social media course this semester as a requirement for the class.I have learned so much about marketing myself on social media platforms. This week I am going to talk about becoming more desirable for employers and what characteristics employers seek! Since I am going to be graduating within a year, I need to prepare myself as much as I possibly can before seeking a career.
5 Desirable Traits of Great Employees:
1. Accountability
2. Flexibility
3. Creativity
4. Communication
5. Passion
The following YouTube video expresses some skills that employers seek in college graduates
Another important topic that I want to discuss is tips for writing an effective resumé. You can view the article for tips when creating an effective resumé here.
1. Format Your Resume Wisely "Do the Hiring Managers" Work for Them
2. Identify Accomplishments not Just Job Descriptions
3. Quantify Your Accomplishments
4. Cater Your Resume for the Industry
5. Replace your Objective" with a "Career Summary"
6. Network. Network. Network.
Another important tool to use is the social media platform LinkedIn for professional networking. I have created a LinkedIn profile for my social media course and if you don't have one yet, you can sign-up here.
