Top Five Personalities Employers Are Dying To Hire

By Tabitha Makumi
Yes guys, if you didn’t know, know now that there a kind of personality those employers are looking to hire when they have a job opening.
The qualities may vary from one profession to the other. What is considered to be desirable in one profession does not necessarily mean it’s desirable in another.
Impressing a current or future employer is as much about having the right attitude as the right qualifications and experience.
Outlined below are the five qualities most likely to win over an employer and help increase your chances of securing that new role or promotion.
1.Intelligent Person
Intelligence here means the ability to plan, organize, set priorities, solve problems, and to get the job done! Are you able to do this?
As a good job candidate you should be able to use your common sense  and your practical ability to deal with the day-to-day challenges of the job.
And how can you demonstrate your intelligence? Ask  intelligent questions and not asking questions for the heck of it.
The more you ask good questions and listen to the answers, the smarter you appear. Don’t be that guy who is always asking the same darn question over and over again.
2.Person with a sense of initiative
While asking questions is one of the best ways to learn, there is definitely a time and place to do it. Rather than automatically turning to others for help, see if you can find the required information yourself.
A quick internet search might provide the details you need, or there may be specific company documents you could check.
The fact that you’ve tried to work things out for yourself will demonstrate your initiative, and people will be more inclined to provide assistance when you really need it if you don’t bombard them with pointless requests.
3. A Confident person
Employers want employees who can exude confidence. Whether you’re looking for a job as a manager, salesperson, or executive assistant, your ability to demonstrate confidence will help you make strong connections with clients and co-workers.
Confidence is also closely tied to your communication skills. For these reasons, managers carefully scrutinize applicants’ confidence during the interview process. How can you show an employer that you are confident with good communication skills?
Don’t be too timid during an interview, make eye contact, and don’t be afraid to speak plainly about your accomplishments and achievements.
4. A Competent Person
Do you know what you are doing?  Competence is terribly important to your success. It is really the foundation of everything that happens to you in your career.
In its simplest terms, competence is the ability to get the job done.
It is the ability to set priorities, to separate the relevant from the irrelevant tasks, and then to concentrate single-mindedly until the job is complete.
5. A person who can adapt and is flexible
You can bet your life on it that there will be times when you will be asked to do something not directly related to your role.
Try to view these requests as opportunities to stretch yourself and demonstrate your abilities rather than moaning that it’s not your responsibility. That way you will gain a reputation for being flexible and adaptable, which are highly desirable qualities in an employee.
Above all, it is your character, which is the sum total of all your positive qualities, that will have the greatest impact on whether you get the job you want. Your job now is to continue working on your character by practicing the behaviors of top people at every opportunity.
