What employers want

"The guy over at the competitor has it easy," See said feeling melancholy. "He has 3 staff under him and plays golf all the time"

Here's the simple yet truthful point, mate: the over-riding reason you were hired was that your company felt that you had a special contribution to make. Why else would you be hired?

In the pressure cooker of daily living, it is easy to lose sight of the primary expectation of employers...contribution. The major issue in the minds of employers is not what skills we have, but to what end and purpose we use them. Do we use our skills to merely wile away the time? Or do we use them to add value?
