Understanding employees know traditional wisdom’s a highly valued necessity. But, fresh, modern perspective combines with said wisdom is nearly as valuable. But there are so many enthusiastic applicants flooding their mailboxes. So, they tend to focus on another set of qualifications more closely — personality traits. Because if you are the most technically qualified but you lack the ability self-regulate, problem solve, and be a team player, you’re not going to be a very effective employee.
While some of these traits may seem like no-brainers, it’s easy to forget to actively embody them.
Self-Regulation
There’s a bit of intelligence, rationality, and integrity rolled into this one. If you have the ability to motivate yourself, think and plan purposefully, take initiative, and critically evaluate your work, your application will likely be pushed to the top of the pile.

Adaptability
You can be the best, most thorough planner, but if a curveball comes and strikes you out without so much as a whoosh, all that planning was for nothing. The curveball could be an unforeseen problem, the loss of a teammate, or an oversight on your part. But no matter the issue, the ability to adapt swiftly and often is a necessity.
Teamwork
Group presentations, the fine arts, and team sports weren’t for nothing. All of these activities are engineered to teach impressionable pupils how to be valuable members of a team. When all members of a team are able to work together like the parts of a well-oiled machine, success is inevitable.

Dependability and Responsibility Seems like two no-brainers, right? But when you’ve largely been responsible for yourself for the past 18+ years, the concept of others relying on you everyday can be a change. You must show up everyday you are scheduled to work, when you are expected to, and take responsibility for your actions.
