· First impressions are huge.
Your earliest communications will create the basis of trust with your employer.
Be smart, eager, and on time. Reread your emails before you send them, and use a
spell-checker or have a friend proofread for you, especially if you’re not
communicating in your native language.
· Be honest about your skills.
It’s painfully trendy to call yourself a “_____ Rockstar” these days,
but don’t overpromise. If you disappoint the employer when called to use
one of your weaker “rockstar” skills, then you’ll never get a chance to
demonstrate your real potential.
· Think big. Ask
about the employer’s business case and business goals — for your assignment and
beyond. Employers trust someone who cares about the big picture, who
understands their priorities and makes them her own.
