Having been involved in the  havallowed ns Landing a job with your dream company is not always simple.  Industry insiders share the most important things they look for when selecting new employees.  Some of the best employers in the business shared some trade secrets with BottleServiceGirls.com

While it all starts with a great resume; Employers often go beyond the obvious when selecting people to interview and hire.  Social media is a top source for hiring managers to obtain loads of information about who they meet with and employ.  “Like and Followers are important, but those can be bought.” says a top Miami nightclub manager.  “I like to look beyond the obvious to see the true reach and likability of a candidate.  For example, while you might have 10K followers, if only 50 people are wishing you happy birthday… that’s a tip off.”

Data is not only widely available, but is one of the most valuable commodities in our current environment.  Data gatherers serve up incredible amounts of information that are widely used in measuring the quality of a job seeker.  A Food & Beverage supervisor from a well known hotel chain tells us that she even leverages Uber Ratings as a measure of ones conduct and behavior.  “While people go to great lengths to curate their social profiles, most forget that everything they do is tracked and rated.  Uber ratings are a great way to gauge how someone treats others and is viewed by others (outside of social circles)” she goes on to say.

Simple answer is, quality candidates stand out because they are all around good.

The bottom line is that creating a false impression will only take a candidate so far.  Quality candidates stand out because they are all around good.  Good meaning they are well liked, have great experience and references.  Top earners have a strong and flexible work ethic along with a professional appearance that (can be unique, but) is appropriate for the position they are seeking.

Confidence is important; but not at the expense of appearing as though the job will not be an important part of your life. “One candidate for a hostess position was engaging and honest on her interview.” says a partner at a NYC top restaurant group.  “The only problem was that she gave an impression that she was interviewing us for the job rather than the other way around.  This turned us off right away.  It was sad to pass on what could have been a great addition to one of our restaurants.  In the end, though; we want to make sure there is a respect not only for management, but coworkers and customers as well.”
