Helping job seekers get more interviews in the next 7 days.

This is the fastest way to destroy a company. Hire smart & hardworking people but... who lack integrity. When hiring, Warren Buffett looks for three things: ✔ Intelligence – The ability to think critically and solve problems. ✔ Energy – A drive to take action and push things forward. ✔ Integrity – Doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. But here’s the catch… Without integrity, intelligence and energy can be dangerous. Think about it: A smart, highly motivated person without integrity? That’s a disaster waiting to happen. If you’re hiring, prioritize character. If you’re job-seeking, focus on building trust. Which of these three traits do you think is the most important? Drop your thoughts below! 👇 #Leadership #Hiring #Integrity #CareerGrowth #Success
