In an interview (i currently have 23 staff directs and indirects) i always want to hear things like.
i am willing to learn new things
i would appreciate an opportunity to earn my spot
i can take direction well and i understand policy
I will be here when i am asked to be here and on time
i can learn to adapt and am looking forward to new challanges.
those sorts of things, good character is important i should think for most positions but certainly in the hospitality business, you can learn the rest easy enough i should think.
