5 qualities every marketer should have


Although headcount restrictions and staff freezes appear to be loosening, recruitment is still a luxury for many companies. This means organisations are being a lot more diligent about the roles they are filling. Here is a breakdown of the five most important qualities employers are looking for when they brief Carrera Partners to fill a sales or marketing position.

1. Experience. There really is no substitute for having done it before. Employers want people that can hit the ground running.

2. Team players. Employers need to feel comfortable that you're a good fit for their business. More than anything, this means being a team player.

3. Value adders. Employers want people that can spot new opportunities and leverage them. They like individuals that can adapt to change and manage outcomes to the company's advantage.

4. Commercially minded. Employers are looking for people that can manage a budget effectively and understand how to get the best ROI.

5. Accountable. Employers want people that can prove their own value with measurable results. After all, you can't manage that which you can't measure.
