So I was having a serious discussion with some friends online tonight and this became the hot topic. To get on in the world career wise and such, which one of these is more important? Is it to have a personality that will see you rise above everyone else and be noticed? Or does the knowledge fit the equation since you have to know certain things to perform a specific job?
Whilst these two are perfectly valid reasons to get ahead in the world, I only feel that personality is the most important factor here. For starters, I don't even believe that knowledge is even considered in a job anymore. Instead, the employers opt for people, whom they know will do the job role very well and not be afraid to take risks. If you're seen as a confident type, then surely you'll get very far with your career? That's why I don't think knowledge is as important as it was years ago. Nowadays, it just seems that personality is on the agenda.
