What is the most important thing for me to get across in a job interview?

My value proposition and how that correlates with top performance in the role.

My work ethics and team leadership abilities.

Confidence and subject knowledge

You are willing to learn and be a great worker at the same time

How your knowledge, experience and qualifications relate to the job description/position.

Work ethic and desire to achieve whatever goals you have as well as a knowledge of the place you want to work

The value added I will bring to the company.

How I can add value immediately to a company due to my years of experience in a number of areas, my work ethic, commitment, skill st and education. "Over qualified" is what I've heard. Having a high performing person on any team who can also mentor and work with peers, subordinates, and senior management seems to be over looked today. I am older and wiser now and I see many companies fail because they are not self critical and think they have the right product, strategy, intelligence. People working, thinking, and collaborating makes a company better, robust, and successful.

Willingness to perform well and be a part of a team.

That l appreciate the opportunity to be interview and I will do the best job for your company.

That you understand the problem the potential employer is trying to solve by hiring for this position, and that you can solve it (or most of it).

As a potential employee: your work ethic As a potential employer: your office culture

In most positions that are not part-time, setting goals or expectations of what you would like to see in a prospective employer is often #1 for me. Many disagree with this approach - and to a certain extent it's a judgment call. It helps both you and the prospective employer understand if the position is a good fit for both. And for the job seeker it helps them understand if this position is worth continued pursuit or not.

Competence, engagement & clarity in why you're suitable.

Willingness to take action without full direction.
