Although work experience is important, employees must also possess some other skills and qualities in order to be considered good. It is these skills that equally qualify young people with no work experience to show their skills and they also justify the trust of the employer who decided to employ them. The fact is that most people if employed in a workplace that suits their abilities and skills, can do their job quite well. However, there are those in whom you have to invest more effort and energy to show their potential. Some of them eventually prove to be excellent investments, and some turn out to be complete failures. What every employer should know and try is definitely the Predictive Index, and we also bring you a list of qualities of a good employee. To prevent the loss of time with people who are not willing to work properly and devotedly, pay attention to these qualities that can significantly help you in deciding whether you are dealing with those who are not what you are looking for from your employees. On the other side, if you are looking for a job, check out which of these qualities you already possess and mention them anytime you apply for the job. But first, let us go through the list.

- Staying calm in stressful situations
All right, nobody is completely immune to stress, but staying calm under stressful circumstances and under the pressure is quite important.
