“One of five American men is unemployed. In some states, a third of people out of work have been looking for more than a year,” says AJ Discala.
For those who are looking for a job, AJ Discala believes presentation and enthusiasm are critical. “We’re currently hiring and what I’m looking for is simple: a resume without typos, with relevant work experience; a personalized cover letter explaining why they want the job. If we don’t contact them for an interview, they can follow up with us on the phone. I like to see initiative,” says AJ Discala.
AJ Discala also believes the person should do their homework. “When they walk through the door for the interview, they need to be able to explain what Broadsmoore does, but they should have questions. They should know what has made them successful in their previous work environments, and they should be able to explain it.”
“And they need to look the part. This is an investment banking firm, so they should be wearing a suit,” says Discala.
And for those who have a job, AJ Discala says, “You should show up every day with an appreciative attitude. Prove yourself every day. Be grateful for the opportunity to work. And get a lot done.”
