The Soft Skills That All Hiring Managers Are Looking For
What are soft skills?
Congrats! You’ve earned your diploma and think you’re ready to land your dream job — but first, you’ll need soft skills (социальные навыки). Although you might have the technical know-how, or “hard skills,” (технические навыки) to do the work, your future employer is looking for something more.
Soft skills are people’s professional qualities like communication, leadership, and dependability (надежность). They can’t be quantified, which makes them hard to measure, hard to identify in job applicants, and even harder to teach — but having them will make you stand out (выделит вас среди других) as an employee. 92 percent of hiring professionals say soft skills matter as much or even more than hard skills. Next time we’ll tell you which interpersonal skills you’ll really need to succeed.
