From coast to coast,
employers search for the ideal employee. Skills and experience count, but most
businesses are looking for something else, too: character. The kind of person
you are matters to your employer.
One of the most important things you can do right now for your career is to
develop the type of character that employers want. How responsible are you? Are
you the kind of person others can count on? Have you developed good habits such
as working hard, striving for excellence, and practicing professional etiquette?
It’s never too early or too late to develop these qualities.
