50 Positive character traits for the workplace
Body
People are so used to constantly expressing themselves now. They plaster captioned photos on Instagram, post their innermost thoughts to WordPress, and outline entire work histories on LinkedIn. And yet, so many Canadians find it challenging to talk about themselves in the one instance where it’s unabashedly necessary: in an interview.
Whereas one might describe his or herself as “carefree and compassionate” on a first date, there exist no such trait keywords for interviews.
