One of the many reasons why a lot of employers don't provide a clear feedback - or worse, get back to you, is because they didn't have that much comprehensive facts about you. They would find it difficult to tell where you would belong to or fit in. There is no question that putting the best you out plays the biggest role in your hiring process. Take a look at 5 things about you that should be highlighted during job interviews:

1. Your self-confidence. English writer Samuel Johnson once said that self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings. Showing your employer that you believe in yourself and what you can do for them is one major step in getting them to want you.

2. Your communication skills. During your interview, which is the best place to showcase your communication skills, you should be prepared with what you are going to say and make sure that you say it with conviction. Let them know how you communicate, and that you do it good. 

3. Your value for time. One of the most crucial factors that make up a good company is how everyone handles their time. If you express the importance of time to you to your potential employers, then there is a big chunk of chance that you will stand out.

4. Your work ethic. The company values their mission and vision more than anything, and you should show them that you will, too. Explain that you're willing to go the extra mile to help with the company's growth and development.

5. Your positive attitude. Nowadays, it's starting to become a rare commodity. Due to stress and work load, employees tend to feel lowly, which reflects on their work. If you exude positivity, it will spread in the office like wildfire. Companies need that.
