Skills required for diferent jobs are different. When selecting a candidate we can check if they have the qualification which gives the basic skills required for them to do the job.  However the most important thing is one's aptitude and passion for the job.  We need to find out if they are really interested and do possess the natural talents to handle a particular positon.  People who takes up job only for money will never be able to work loyally and excel in their work. however if one is passionately doing the job, not only they will be loyal but also they will excel in their job.

Another thing is willingness to learn, even people who are not qualified as per requirement will be able to do the job if they are inqusitive to learn new things. These days it seems that chains of qualifications mentioned in the CV does not mean much when people are put on actual performance; hence HR/recruiters must be capable enough to check candidates for their aptitude, responsibility, accountability and more importantly their attitude towards work along with  their skills to see if they are the right people for the job.

We need to remember that skills for a particular job can be developed at any stage by giving training; but one's loyalty towards work has to be given by oneself. A lesser skilled candidate with a right attitutude can be sometines much better than aighly skilled one with a bad attitude..

For being the good candidate of company, one should be the devotee in development of organization, for its repute, profits, safety, quality, etc. Also good relationship among peers and bosses. Attitude is every thing, people may ignore the flaws but never forget the rude behavior and insult.

It is a plus factor for a candidate who finishes bachelors’ degree and passed different competencies however it is more significant to consider the attitude of the candidate towards work why? Because earning diplomas can be easily acquired but the right character takes time. This is applicable to all profession. A candidate must be willing to be corrected and learn new things; he/she must be faithful and devoted to the organizational mission and vision; he/she always upholds the integrity and dignity of an employee; and having empathy to both the company and co workers.  

I am sure of my work. The most important thing is to work the real

One must know himself / herself well first. What traits do you have... which are the areas you have found yourself comfortable and firing and which not. Then he must analyze and understand the market dynamics. The skills apparently on demand are genuine or just a gimmick by the skill providers. Skills that take time and real efforts to attain are the most valued. They are the ones that pay most dividends. Remember, the certificates that you can obtain easily does not add to your expertise or just years spent does not make your actual experience.
