I was more concerned on their people handling skills, common sense and ATTITUDE.
Spot on.

Try to put yourself in an employers shoes. The above attributes rate very highly. An employer only has a very small window of opportunity to establish whether or not you have these qualities. So make every personal contact count.

That is why networking and building solid friendships is so important. There will come a time when your future progression may be in the hands of a mate. He or she will be promoting you to their boss for an upcoming position. Never underestimate the power of "word of mouth". It's also a handy method for keeping d!ckheads out of the industry, but unfortunately it doesn't always work.
