Demonstrate the soft skills in your resume
It is important that while you write the resume, your soft skills stand out in your resume. Read through the job description carefully and cull out the skills which the employer is looking for. Ensure to demonstrate these skills in your resume through your work and projects. At times we have the skills but fail to bring it out in our resume. That is a mistake, we should avoid.

A manager needs to have people skills to manage and lead his or her team. A supply chain manager needs to be good at negotiations. Every role needs key soft skills, for a person to succeed in their profession.
