Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky shares the No. 1 trait you need to land a job there

It’s no exaggeration to say that hundreds of thousands of people want to work for Airbnb right now.

When the company announced its shift to a permanent remote work model on April 28, more than 800,000 people flocked to its career page — and that interest has held steady in the weeks following the announcement, Catherine Powell, Airbnb’s global head of hosting, tells CNBC Make It.

Part of Airbnb’s mission, Powell adds, is to “build a culture of connection and belonging” — and anyone who wants to work for Airbnb needs to be open-minded and share this value. 

“Human connection is at the heart of so much of what we strive to do and create, so anyone joining [Airbnb] needs to help build that,” she adds. 

Curiosity is a valuable soft skill that can help you gain an edge in today’s competitive workplace, according to Barbara Petitt, a career development expert. 

“Sharpening your curiosity skills will help you come up with great solutions faster and more creatively,” she recently told CNBC Make It. To develop curiosity skills, she added, educate yourself on a topic you haven’t studied before. 

For example, Petitt shared that she recently…
