揭祕老闆最看重的4種員工素質
在大多數情況下，是不存在完美的候選人的；每個人都是獨特的個體，是擁有不同的技能、經歷和特質的獨特組合。
As a result it is very rare to find that perfect fit. Having said that, there are common characteristics that employers always look for when they are planning to take on new recruits. It doesn’t matter what sector or business you are talking about - if people are able to show that they possess these key attributes then they will always be in demand.
因此，很難找到一個完全符合（職位要求）的候選人。雖然這麼說，但有些素質是每個僱主都希望在求職者身上看到的。這些素質不受行業和職責的限制——是每個優秀的人身上必須具備的。
Here are four key qualities that employers always look out for when they are planning to take on new people in one of their businesses:
以下是老闆在招聘員工時最看重的4種素質：
雄心壯志
It is one of the most obvious questions to ask in an interview but there is a reason why people want to know where candidates see themselves in the future. The point of asking the question is to assess just how ambitious an individual really is. It stands to reason that an ambitious company wants like-minded people working for them. As a manager or chief executive you want people alongside you who are going to share your hunger, otherwise it is impossible to build the successful company you envision.
在面試中，候選人常常被問到自己對於未來的規劃，這顯然是有它的道理的。這個問題的核心是想了解一個人到底有多少雄心壯志。因爲一個有理想的公司需要一羣有理想的員工來爲它工作。作爲公司的經理或者高管，你希望身邊的人能夠分享你不斷進取的精神，否則的話，這個公司不可能達到你頭腦中的願景。
自主性
Ask the question and most people will tell you that they are a self starter, but it is actually quite tough to find people who have the right personal drive and can work under their own steam. The simple fact is that every manager wants workers who have the initiative to organize their workload and go about their business without the need for constant supervision. These people are a key component of any successful organisation, not just for their professionalism, but also because they set a good example for those around them.
面對這個問題，很多人都會自稱是“有自覺性的人”。但是要找到那些真正能在正確的個人動機下自主開展工作的人，是非常困難的。很自然，每個經理都希望員工能有效合理地安排自己的工作，而不需要上層過多的監督。這些人是每個組織成功的保證，不僅僅因爲他們具有專業技能，更重要的是他們能爲周圍的人樹立好的榜樣。
愛崗敬業
This is true for most employers but particularly those in a service based industry. Providing quality customer service is what sets these firms apart from their rivals so it is vital that the staff are totally committed to the cause. They need to have a real dedication to what they are doing. As somebody who has spent many years in recruitment, I can usually tell which people are going to be the top performers purely through their attitude. Someone who is prepared to stick at it even when times are tough, and who will go that extra mile for themselves and the company is a huge asset.
這是每個僱主都喜歡的品質，在服務性行業尤爲重要。能夠提供優質的客戶體驗是這些企業成功的保證，所以他們需要那些愛崗敬業的員工。這些員工需要真正的喜歡自己的工作。作爲一個多年從事招聘的人，我能夠從個人的工作態度中判斷他們未來的成就。那些願意在困難中堅持，以及多走最後一英里的人，將是公司一筆巨大的財富。
獨特的個性
It is becoming increasingly difficult to stand out in the modern world so someone who has a little bit of personality can make a big difference to the atmosphere in the workplace. Of course they need to be a team player, and nobody wants to work with someone who rubs people up the wrong way, but there is nothing wrong with mavericks and strong characters. These are the people who stand out in a crowded room and can often push your business on to new heights. A good team always has a combination of many different character types and the most important thing is to get that blend right.
在現代社會，個人想要跳出條條框框變得越來越困難，因此一個稍微有些個性的人往往能給工作的地方帶來巨大的變革。當然，我們也需要團隊協作，沒有人喜歡那些總把別人帶到歧路上去的人，但是喜歡標新立異且有個性的人也不是什麼壞事。這些人往往能夠在（關鍵時刻）從人羣中挺身而出，助力你的事業。一個優秀的團隊肯定是多樣性的，成功的關鍵在於如何找到正確的方法讓他們正確地協作。
Many candidates go into interviews and are keen to emphasise their skills. This is fine, but if you can also show potential employers you have most of the qualities listed above – preferably with examples – you will almost certainly become a more attractive candidate.
在面試中，更多的候選人傾向於強調他們的專業技能。這當然沒有錯，但是如果你也能展示你還同時具備的的以上所列的幾條素質——最好能有相關的事例——會讓你成爲更受歡迎的候選人！
