Better You Blog

Everyone strives to be the best they can be in both their personal and business life. When a business awards someone with a raise or promotion, it makes him or her work just as hard to prove they deserved to get it in the first place.

Still there are those who never get the recognition they feel they deserve, whether it’s by their own feelings they deserve it or someone else saying, “You do a great job but…” This sends many workers searching for an executive job that will provide them with not only growth and improvement but also security and a better income.

For those seeking “the grass is greener on the other side” job, luck is not what finds you the job. Getting out and searching for it does. And landing that perfect dream job doesn’t depend on luck either… it all depends on the person.

Does Appearance Matter?

Above most, first impressions are everything. Have you watched someone in a store and were repulsed by his or her outfit? It’s the same thing in what you wear to a job interview. The old saying “Looks could kill” basically fits the “If I wanted this job, I’d dress better” because chances are your appearance killed your opportunity of a job offer.

When an employer looks back at all the applicants’ files, they’ll remember the one who wore baggy pants and a cut off t-shirt with tattoos showing and hair completely nappy. Even if the person is completely qualified for the job, think they’ll get the position? It’s imperative for those who want the job to dress the part even if they aren’t comfortable with it.

Should an Applicant be a Know-it-All?

An applicant seeking an Executive position has a better chance at an interview when employers see that they have most of the necessary skills required of said position. Applicants should show employers that they are quite knowledgeable in the position they are seeking.

However, applicants should never come off as a know-it-all because employers don’t care.

Employers are looking for people who know their material but are willing to learn new things within their company. This expands the person’s knowledge a little further while doing the job they were hired to do. More than half the applicants out of 10 are hired due to experience not their attitude of experience. Employers want people who have mastered the related job field.

It’s one thing searching for that dream job; it’s another getting it. Just remember that what you wear, what you do,what you say and how you act will all fall to whether you do or don’t get the executive position.
