Would you like to know the TOP trait that all (good) hiring managers look for in a candidate?

Curiosity. 

I can tell you this unequivocally, having worked with countless hiring managers on job searches. It shows that you are constantly looking for the "how" and "why"- both critical to problem-solving. Ensure that you make this characteristic shine in your interview by sharing compelling stories of curiosity, the end result & the problem solved. This works.

That makes sense. I prefer working with people who have some initiative and will do some research on their own to find things out. The opposite are the people who are just complacent. Or even worse, the people who think they already know it all. The curious people who make themselves keep learning tend to be the most creative and most productive.

It comes down to asking the right, good questions- not open ended give me more work to do types! :)

Agreed! But self serve curiosity- they both ask the questions and seek the answers themselves.

I need advice. I met an amazing guy on a dating app. We talked for 4 months and most of the convo was sexual. I fell so hard for him and it was because when we met up in person he was so kind, caring, and respectful towards me. He never initiated conversation with me first, but if I messaged him, he would respond back immediately. Then after 4 months he ghosted me on the app we were talking on. I texted him and he told me he had a gf. I am completely heartbroken. What kind of behavior was this?
