What are firms REALLY looking for?

“DO NOT LIE” is permanently posted at the office space of a F500 company. I walk by it every day in my co-working space. 

What does that mean? Why would they say that? 

Honesty has been an issue inside the firm. 

So, what are firms really looking for when they are hiring talent?

They are looking for a certain skill set, but they are ALSO looking for:

     -    Honesty

     -    Attention to detail

     -    Desire to do good work

Not yet employed or have multiple years of experience? You have a lot of things in your favor.

If you have:

#1 The desire to work hard

#2 Hungry for experience

#3 Willing to take on more responsibility 

#4 Easy to be trained

And you can convey honesty.

Then it’s just a matter of reaching out to your dream firm and conveying your interest in helping them.
