What do employers look for?

What employers look for in a potential graduate may not be as simple as you think - degree, A-levels, work experience, IT skills etc. They are also looking for a number of other attributes which you need to get across not only in your CV, but your interviews as well. It obviously varies from job to job but generally at the top of the list they will be looking for enthusiasm, self-reliance, problem solving and verbal and written communication skills. Possessing a portfolio of skills such as this which are flexible enough to adapt to any number of graduate jobs and situations will increase your employability a great deal. If you feel that you are lacking in any of these areas then work on them so you can apply with confidence!
