8 aspects of YOU a potential employer is looking for.

You're probably wondering why an article about employers has anything to do with music?
Well, the truth is it applies to everyone across all fields even the music industry.

For example, the first trait mentioned are people skills.  Being a people person, believe it or not, makes all the difference when working with others, networking, and so on.  If you're able to communicate with others with no problem as well as with those from all walks of life then you just might be the right person for the job you're seeking.  And believe me when I say this because I used to work in retail and as a manager (while working in retail) knew whether a potential employee was fit for the job or not...a mile away.

Here's another example just to show you that potential employers are keeping an eye on you whether you know it or not.

This past spring, a classmate and I volunteered at a conference during our desperately needed spring break.  However, we knew it was a great opportunity so we decided to go anyway.  It was a lot of work and even at times stayed longer when requested by the executives of the conference, especially when all the other volunteers had already left.  One night, my classmate and I were having dinner with the person who was in charge of overseeing all the volunteers and told us that from seeing how we both worked that week, we'd be the only two people she would hire if she could. This was so nice to hear that even though we weren't looking for work, someone was already wanting to hire us based on our work skills. Which just goes to show you how important it is to carry all of your traits with you, everywhere you go because you never know who could be around.
