what are ten expectations that employers are looking for in today's job market?

Answer 1

Alright, here’s the list that I’ve complied from my time in Corporate America. It might not be ten, but it’s valid and what I’ve witnessed and experienced in the real world:

1. Hard working - Self-sacrificing individual who doesn’t want health benefits, breaks, vacation or flex time.
2. Works well in groups - Mob mentality “yes man” that doesn’t have enough independent thought to realize the flaws in company policy.
3. Devotion – bachelor with no kids who can work weekends.
4. Motivated – greedy.
5. Leadership potential – See: a “motivated” individual who “works well in groups”.
6. Honest – Understands how to not tell the truth without lying.
7. Experience – Previously broken to the will of a former employer and therefore, much easier to “train”.

Answer 2

ten expectations that will be unrealistic...that is for sure. Today's employers care very little for their EMPLOYEES and have no heart whatsoever. It doesnt matter how loyal , depnedable , or responsible you are. They only want to make a buck. I am going thru a tough time at work right now. And am looking for a new position.
