Quoted from zdnet's anchordesk:

Seven Characteristics Of Highly Desirable Workers
1. Raw brain power. At Microsoft, for instance, recruiters are
instructed to hire the smartest people they can find. Workers with IQs
over 135 are common. (A 160 IQ is considered "genius.")
2. High energy. You need this to enthusiastically toil 100 hours a week.
Of course, this can sometimes be a euphemism for "young with no outside
life."
3. Unflagging optimism. If you were born with it, you've got a sizeable
advantage.
4. Leadership skills. Teamwork is king. It doesn't help to pick the
right path if you cannot convince your colleagues to follow.
5. Track record of success. It helps if you have shipped a successful
Internet or ecommerce product, for instance.
6. Raw talent. This often involves brilliant solutions to thorny
problems, fast. If you come up with elegant answers in your sleep,
consider yourself golden. (And an MBA/MSEE from Stanford, or one of the
top five graduate schools can't hurt.)
7. Ability to imagine. Mindspring says the ability to anticipate the
unimagined may be the most critical management skill of the Internet
era.
These are the characteristics business experts say the most desirable
tech companies need to succeed in the future. If you have got the right
combination, recruiters are standing by to help you hit the jackpot.
