If you’re hoping to find a job in 2013 – check your personality...

If you’re revising your resume for 2013, you might want to polish your personality while you’re at it...

Forbes Magazine has a list of the top five personality traits employers hire most:

• Professionalism is a top trait at 86%. Do your research, dress the part and get your act together.

• High energy gets hired next. Don’t overdo it – just be sure you’re enthusiastic and know your stuff.

• Confidence is a must. Your potential employer will notice the way you enter a room, extend your hand and make eye contact.

• Self-monitoring is a sought-after trait. You’ll need to show what you’ve accomplished and learned on both your resume and during a face-to-face interview.

• Intellectual curiosity is another big personality plus. Show your passion for learning new things and be prepared with some interesting questions.
