How do you tell an employer that you are the right person for the job?

The first step is to have a good resume. A one-page resume that has a good objectives section, skills and education listed, as well as past employment history are the first things that a hiring manager or general employer look over when considering a candidate for a job.

If the resume is attractive enough relative to the given position, then the next step is the interview. This face-to-face interaction gives the employer a wealth of knowledge about how the person presents himself, deals with on-the-spur questions, solves problems, thinks, and will most likely present himself as a representative of the company on a daily basis.

Most employers can determine best fit by: desire for the job, enthusiasm for the position, adaptability, congeniality, extensive skills for the job, and the ability/desire to learn new skills while on the job.
