Kevin Downey has an extensive background in business management, recruiting, branding and marketing. He's volunteered his career coaching services at job fairs, lecturing on interview techniques and crafting winning resumes and cover letters.

"I'm of the opinion one should aim for both. Work hard while evaluating kaizen opportunities where there's room for improvement. Focus on quality, then quantity. When taken with a systems approach, constantly seeking minor improvements, it should take me less effort to produce the same content."

By determining your familiarity with this concept, they can ascertain your experience level and how well you'll compliment their teams. Hard work can translate to long and taxing hours. Working smart demonstrates your capacity to prioritize, organize, and manage your time. Acknowledge there's a time and place for working hard vs. working smart, and how they each play into each other, whether performing the smart work, approach yourself or delegating the necessary harder work to others. Often when working smarter, the time it takes to perform the hard work is cut in half, lightening your work load and enhancing your time management.
