Title: Are You an Outstanding or a Disappointing Job Candidate? Hawaii Recruiters’ Perspectives on Demonstrating Employability Skills and Qualities
Abstract: What is learned in higher education institutions may not align with the skills, knowledge, and attitudes that jobs require. In situations where jobs are shrinking, and more and more graduates are seeking jobs, understanding what employability means to recruiters is critical for students and institutions to enhance students' future employment prospects. To this end, this chapter reports the results of a mixed-methods study on the important skills and qualities for employability from the perspectives of job interviewers in Hawaii, the United States. The study detected key qualities contributing to or detracting from graduates' success in job interviews and being employees. Through these results, students and higher education institutions will be informed to better monitor their employability and meet market needs.
