5. Perseverance and Motivation:
Employers generally want candidates to have a bit of get-up-and-go attitude. Work life presents many challenges and you need to show the respective employer that you are the kind of individual who will find a way through, even when the situation turns out to be rough, and stay cheerful. 

Remember, perseverance and motivation skills are what keeps us from giving up, when the going gets rough. It’s what helps an individual to get up when he/she is knocked down. It pushes an individual to knock on that door, when the last 100 have slammed in his/her face. It even helps an individual to keep his/her focus on the goal when the path seems exceedingly impossible. Most of all, it enables an individual to strive for the goal/objective, even when it doesn’t seem within their reach.
