One of the most crucial things when looking for a job is to know what employers wants.  What do they have in mind?  What do “I” need to tell them to be hired?  While we cannot tell you what you should say, we found an article from Bob Rosner and Sherrie Campbell that lists 5 key questions that most, if not all employers, have in mind when hiring someone:

1. Who are you?
2. What can you do for me?
3. Do you have the skills I’m looking for?
4. Where have you worked before?
5. Is your experience relevant to my needs?

Most employers will not go outright and ask these questions, except maybe at the interview stage, but that doesn’t mean these questions are not on their mind.  While writing your resume and cover letter, make sure to address these questions somehow.
