* Will this candidate be a good choice?

* Will they make me look good or bad?

* Will they be able to do this job?

* Will they get up and running quickly?

* Will they follow through with what they said during their interviews?

If you answer the employer’s questions better than anyone else, you will have a good shot at getting the job. This means being prepared. If you prepare, you can go into problem-solving mode. So, rather than “please pick me,” you will be able to tell a company how you are going to be an asset.
