Employer's Expectations- III


Reliability and punctuality

Late is not great, but getting to work on time is. Being careful to not overuse sick time is a plus in an employer's eyes. Employers want employees that can be relied on. The employee who forces others to cover for them, or who constantly shows that they are unreliable, will have difficulty keeping (or finding) a job.


Flexibility and adaptability


The modern workplace is a rapidly changing environment, as technology changes and companies adapt to new methods. The employee who is adaptable and willing to learn new methods will do well. Some employers may use untraditional methods, or have jobs which combine several tasks and different skills in one job ("multitasking" is the byword used). The employee who has a good attitude towards change is viewed very positively according to employer surveys.
