Focus

Phrases I hear daily are "I just want a job" or "I'll do anything."  Kudos for motivation and willingness to be flexible, but not the most useful approach to job search.  They often don't realize that employers usually prefer someone who has experience AND interest in the specific task that they are hiring for, not "anything". Being a team member and willing to take on anything requested of them is different from saying that they will take any job.  Care about the specific job, then add the flexibility.
