I recently asked hiring manager what “soft skills” do they look for when interviewing candidates. The top answers:
58% – Excellent communication skills
22% – Ability to work alone, work in teams
18% – Ability to adjust to changing priorities, deadlines
18% – Ability to multitask/juggle multiple projects
14% – Good organization skills
12% – Attention to detail
10% – Strong interpersonal skills
6% – Self motivated
Jack, I believe that these skills are vital for all of us! During interview to get hired, and for happiness and success on the job after we start. Keep asking, and keep sharing… soft skills are valued assets.
