A person joining a multinational business organization should be well versed with the principles of international business. For example, she needs to be conversant with the fact that no culture or cultural practice is superior to others. Such awareness would greatly help in preventing conflict and streamlining one's business undertakings.
To work in a multinational corporation, you need to communicate well with workers of different countries and culture. You should also be prepared to travel for business purposes when necessary.
You must have delocalized your mind to have a global viewpoint of issues. You must think wider than your locality and region to succeed as a staff in a multinational.

Yes, adaptability to diverse cultures is the key. One must learn how to be lenient with other workers of diverse culture. One must not be an ethnist or racist. One must be accommodating with others in order to promote mutual relationship.
It is important to be able to easily adapt to change. That is because being a multinational company a staff might be moved to any part of the world and adaptability would be a major factor.
Many multinational companies do not even consider looking at your resume. They usually consider other factors such as skills and experience. I have noticed this myself as I have myself applied at a multinational company.
I don't think that there would be a single correct answer to it. It depends on the job position and the requirements for the particular job position. Domestic businesses or the multinational ones don't differ much in their hiring processes. They shortlist people depending on the job requirements. Once you are hired, you have to be on board with their work culture and each one differs a bit when it comes to the work culture.
