Eagerness to learn
If you're the type of person who spends every spare moment jogging, learning Spanish, knitting tea cosies, baking cakes and rock-climbing (not necessarily at the same time), you have an eagerness to learn new things.
Employers are drawn to open minds, sponges ready to soak up knowledge, so someone with a lifelong interest in learning is an attractive hire. Listing rows and rows of hobbies on your CV isn't advised, but do make clear how your myriad of interests has expanded your mind, improved your networking skills and led to new life experiences.
