If you’re applying for a job, it’s important to know what your potential employer is looking for.  Like any other country, the U.S. has a professional culture which places more value on some individual qualities than others.  These qualities may be very different from what employers look for in your home country!

Some qualities American employers seek in employees:
<ul>
<li>Proactive attitude: Show that you are autonomous and energetic – the opposite of passive.  It means to show up early, confirm the time you will meet, and say thank you.</li>
<li>Positive attitude: Americans like smiles.  But it’s also important that you get along with others and not be pessimistic.</li>
<li>Communication: When you actively communicate it shows you are engaged.  A big part of this is simply that you let the boss know what is going on.</li>
<li>Be a “Giver”: Show that you believe in the vision of the company and are personally invested in its success.  In other words, it’s more than a job to you.</li>
</ul>
