      How to Answer

      Your resume will list the varying hard skills which qualify you for the position. However, this question is more centered around those harder-to-quantify soft skills, from time management to interpersonal skills. Southwest places a great deal of emphasis on attitude being their valued trait. As Herb Kelleher once said, "The essential difference in service is not machines or 'things.' The essential difference is minds, hearts, spirits, and souls."
