Summary

Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=16043&preview=true) What do you think an employer wants to hear from you in an interview? If you said, “My background and skills,” you aren’t wrong. But according to Find Your Dream Job guest Charles McGee, it goes much deeper than that. An employer wants quantifiable facts. How did you make a difference at your previous job that can be measured? Charles also suggests not being afraid to share your weak points, but also explain how you’ve grown and overcome them, and what you learned as a result. Lastly, keep your resume concise; less visual clutter is easier for the employer to get through. About Our Guest: Charles McGee is the director of operations for Workplace Change.
