Intelligence - Companies are seeking bright candidates who are able to analyze and adjust to changing circumstances, solve challenging problems, and quickly understand new concepts. Stress your educational background and achievement, especially any courses you took requiring difficult analyses. Highlight achievements both in school and outside the school environment. Don't apologize if your grades were lower than they might have been, but, if there is a legitimate explanation, be sure to give it. Leadership - Candidates with the ability to lead are universally sought after.
Leadership requires one to be decisive.
State where you stand on issues and how you based your position on thorough analysis of all possible options. Enthusiasm - Your ability to do a job is important, but your desire to do it is equally important. Your chances for success are severely limited if you show any hint that you might be only lukewarm about a job. Remain enthusiastic about it during the entire interview. Inquisitiveness - Show that you have great interest in the company and in the position.
