Schedule
Availability
Employers are looking for individuals with flexible schedules, meaning they are
available to work during large chunks of time. Many employers understand that
youth are in school and can accommodate school or extracurricular schedules. If
you are a student looking for a job, when you fill out an application pay special
attention to your availability in the evenings and on the weekends. Employers
are more likely to hire an individual who is available to work during these times.
2.
Pay Expectations
Many applications ask for a desired starting wage. In many cases, especially if
you have not worked before, you should mark "Flexible" in this space. This tells
the employer that you are willing to work out a desired wage with him/her. If you
have worked before, either put your hourly wage from your last job or an
average hourly wage for the job you're applying for.
In the State of Montana, Minimum Wage is currently $7.90 per hour.
3.
Work History &
Job Stability
Employers look at the "Work History" portion of your application to see if there
are any sudden, frequent, or lengthy gaps of time where you were unemployed.
This tells the employer how long you stay with each job.
4.
Relevant
Experience
Depending on the position you are applying for, employers will see if you have
matching experience for the job. If you've had jobs, volunteer opportunities, or
other forms of work before, you have some sort of experience. Make sure to use
action words to describe some of your responsibilities. Some responsibilities
may include:•Babysat two children under the age of ten for three years.•Handled and counted cash for five months at XYZ Job.•Responsible and on time.
As you can see from the examples above, employers look for action words, your
experience, and how long or how much time you've done the experience.

7 Areas Employers Look For in Good Job Candidates:
5.
Professionalism and Enthusiasm
Professionalism is an attitude and an appearance. It means
wearing appropriate attire, and acting appropriate or adult-like
at a job.
ATTIRE
The general rule when going to a job interview is to dress on
the dressier side rather than the casual. Different jobs have
different dress codes. For example, when you go to interview
for a clerk job at a grocery store, you may want to wear nice
slacks and a button up shirt or a knee-length skirt, blouse, and
heels. Look at the example to the right. If you were an
employer and had to hire one of the two individuals shown
here, based on professional dress, which person would you
pick?
ENTHUSIASM
One way to set yourself apart from the crowd when applying
for a job is to be enthusiastic about the job and as well as your
everyday demeanor.
6.
Communication Skills
Good communication skills are necessary in the workplace. Employers want to know that you're
able to communicate well with others. In the list of communication skills below, check the box if
you do the following things: Think before you speak
Speak clearly
Ask questions when you don't understand something
Pay attention to non-verbal cues
Non-verbal cues include body movements such as nodding your head to show someone you're
listening to what they are saying.
Smile when listening and speaking to others
Control negative emotions
Screen out distractions (for example, cell phone calls at work)
For each check box you selected above, give yourself a pat on the back. All the items above are
examples of good communication skills. If you did not check some of the items above, you can
get better at them by practicing with family members and friends.
7.
Customer Service Skills•Good customer service is: Being polite to customers and employees
•Having a positive attitude even when times get rough
•Understanding a customer's complaint and trying to solve it without getting upset
•Asking customers if they need any help finding something
•Saying Hello, Thank You, and Have A Nice Day!
