Inquisitive Nature
Asking a lot of questions is exactly what employers are looking for. They want someone who wants to know all about the company, products, and industry. A curious mind typically means you desire knowledge.
Eagerness to Work
Hard workers are hard to find. When a potential candidate shows a strong desire to work hard and use common sense to get the job done. If you are passionate about your job then you will most likely succeed and that means everyone succeeds.
Works Well With a Team
A lot can be said when you bring a great attitude and experience to the table but being able to get along with your team is a very important element as well.
Goal Oriented
Hiring someone who wants bigger and better things is something else an employer is looking for. You don’t want someone who is looking to leave the company, but someone who sets high standards and goals for themselves and the company.
Positive Energy
Someone who is confident during an interview, smiles frequently, and makes eye contact is likely a positive person. This will prove to be very beneficial, especially when working with others.
Authenticity
Being comfortable with who you are and if you can speak not only of your accomplishments but your faults is a sign of authenticity.
Honesty
Taking responsibility for your actions even when it may put you in a grim light shows true integrity.
Flexibility
When someone shows that they are able to embrace change, are willing to improve their knowledge, and remain committed to succeeding. How someone handled past experiences will show the limits on how flexible they can be in the future. How they were able to learn from their previous mistakes and grow from them.
