Strong Understanding

When applying for a job position ensure you have a strong and general understanding of the requirements for the job. The employer will look at strategies that you’ve implemented before. How you had prioritized your tasks in your previous work? And how you would think about aligning to the new business objectives?

Also the employer would look to see what kinds of failures or challenges you have seen in your industry and how have you learned from from that?
