CRITICAL ATTRIBUTES TO ETERVIEWEES Work ethic: Weave your thoughts about how important the company’s mission and vision are to you and explain why you’re willing to go the extra mile to help the organisation succeed. Past performance is a predictor of future results, so give examples from the past about how you went above and beyond the call of duty to get a job done. 2. Positive attitude: Give examples of how you improved employee morale in a past position, or how your positive attitude helped motivate your colleagues or those you managed. Earnest suggests: “If you tend to be more low-key, smile when you shake the interviewer’s hand and make an extra effort to add some intonation and expression to your responses.” 3. Communication skills: Prepare and practice responses to showcase your best skills. “Be concrete with these examples, and bring proof to the interview. Provide examples of materials you created or written campaigns you developed in past positions,” Earnest says. 4. Time management: This is a crucial skill many employers seek in their hires. Be prepared to explain how you prioritise the most important items first, delegate the items that others can do and figure out a way to get things done in the confines of your resources. 5. Self-confidence. Earnest reminds job seekers, “You can demonstrate self-confidence at the interview by the way you present yourself, including how you dress for the interview, the way you approach to shake hands and how you speak about your experiences.” If you’re not particularly confident, practice making direct eye contact, rehearse speaking in a more confident-sounding voice and to sit up during the interview
