Another recurring theme from the Saratoga Job Fair was speaking with applicants of selling their personality, their role as a great teammate, and adaptability and flexibility to the situation.
While many applicants brought similar skill sets, the ones who impressed me the most were the ones who focused on selling how well they got along with others, and were able to express that well both to me and in their resume.
In a world where many people are applying for the same or similar jobs, selling you as a brand or as a good ambassador of the companies you work for can be the difference between a job offer and a thanks but no thanks.
