1. Determined

As an interviewer, I would want my applicant to be determined to finish their jobs and be incredibly precise on their work. I'd want them to feel like they can do it, KNOW that they can do it. That's what makes a good employee.

2. Hard Working

I would want my employees to be hard at work, or even myself hard at work. I want them to try their hardest, try as good as they can. Attempt to perfect the mistakes that you had in the past, try and make a new future for yourself. Work hard.

3. Enthusiasm

Enthusiasm is, surprisingly, an important part in choosing an applicant for a job. You want them to be enthusiastic about what they're doing, try and not let them be over-stressed by the work that's being put on them.

4. Friendliness

If I were hiring someone, I'd want them to be friendly. Not a mean old grump, more of a "Hey, good morning' fella!" type of guy. It's better to make a friendly atmosphere around the office that everyone can enjoy rather than a tight atmosphere, introvertly unable to talk.

5. Chill

I'd want a relaxed atmosphere, like stated in no. 4. A pal that sits back and chills during break, laid back and easy going. Easy to start a conversation with.
