Personality, not competence, is what employers want, according to Global Learning Institute, Hyper Island.

The institute found that 78 percent of a survey’s respondents said personality was the most important quality in a new hire. Only 39 percent said competence. Companies wanted employees to be likeable, adaptable and collaborative, according to the Society of Human Resources Management.
