He's got a lot going for him

You're talking with your mom about your brother's job interview yesterday. You point out that he has excellent qualifications, a good personality, and many other attributes that should help him get the position.
He's got a lot going for him.
(someone) has a lot going for (him/her)
The phrase "____ has a lot going for (him/her)" means that someone has a lot of good qualities and advantages. You would use this phrase to talk about someone who is:
  • smart
  • funny
  • talented
  • a hard worker
...or other positive characteristics.
We often use this phrase to talk about someone who's having some trouble. For example, if your cousin can't find a girlfriend or boyfriend, you can say this:
I don't get why he hasn't found anyone yet. He's got a lot going for him.
