00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:05,310

All right cool.



2

00:00:05,420 --> 00:00:08,780

So on the job hunt alignment is absolutely critical.



3

00:00:08,790 --> 00:00:13,710

You want to make sure that your profile aligns with what the hiring manager is looking for.



4

00:00:13,710 --> 00:00:19,660

Recently a survey was done of about 4500 hiring managers of Fortune 500 companies.



5

00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:25,110

So in this module we're going to let that data drive the skills that these hiring managers are looking



6

00:00:25,110 --> 00:00:28,480

for and also the personality traits that they're looking for.



7

00:00:28,830 --> 00:00:30,220

So let's start with skills.



8

00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,010

They're basically looking for two main things.



9

00:00:33,030 --> 00:00:39,000

The first one is somebody who is a fast learner who can learn new technologies and adapt to situations



10

00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:39,660

quickly.



11

00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:44,550

And the second thing they're looking for is somebody who's a good problem solver when they see a challenge



12

00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,140

somebody who can put the puzzle together and create a solution.



13

00:00:48,410 --> 00:00:53,070

All right now let's move on to the top three personality traits that hiring managers are going to look



14

00:00:53,070 --> 00:00:55,890

for the first one is collaboration.



15

00:00:55,890 --> 00:00:58,150

They want somebody who can work on a team.



16

00:00:58,170 --> 00:01:03,940

The second one is a strong work ethic so somebody who can persevere and get to the finish line.



17

00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,060

And the third thing that they're looking for is somebody who has a positive attitude and who is optimistic



18

00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,020

because that will bring additional energy to the team.



19

00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:12,580

All right.



20

00:01:12,590 --> 00:01:19,140

So when you're highlighting your skills as a fast learner or problem solver or your personality traits



21

00:01:19,140 --> 00:01:24,150

as somebody who's collaborative who works hard or who's positive you want to make sure that you're broadcasting



22

00:01:24,150 --> 00:01:29,670

these out through your resume your cover letter your LinkedIn profile and in interviewing and you want



23

00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:30,910

to be consistent about it.



24

00:01:30,930 --> 00:01:36,090

So you might even want to think about what your strategy is for highlighting past experiences when you've



25

00:01:36,090 --> 00:01:39,990
