opportunities for growth, attractive benefits
and a unique mix of people, business
knowledge and technological expertise that
helps real companies solve real problems.

The people who are most successful at
IBM share a distinct set of characteristics.
These begin with energy and creativity,
along with a clear focus on delivering
exceptional customer service. We've defined
and refined these to set out our foundational
competencies, which complement our values
and identify the skills you'll need to succeed.
These include teamwork, adaptability, drive
to achieve, creative problem solving and
first class communication skills. If you'd
like to work with us, this is the best place
to begin: by identifying how you've already
used these skills and the examples you'll use
to demonstrate them, in an interview or at
assessment centre.
So, whatever you are interested in doing,
we'll offer you an outstanding opportunity
to work for a world leader, where you'll be
respected and rewarded for the contribution
that you make to our business.
