Demonstrate the soft skills in your resume
In addition to hard and soft skills, we must also exhibit self-management skills e.g. self-motivation, time management and stress management. Being open minded, flexible, adaptable, experimenting and learning from mistakes are the key differentiator for a person's success.
World Economic Forum lists out the top ten soft skills, which employers look for. These are · - Complex Problem Solving · - Critical Thinking · - Creativity · - People Management · - Coordinating with Others · - Emotional Intelligence · - Judgment and Decision Making · - Service Orientation · - Negotiation · - Cognitive Flexibility
As a prospective employee, it is our job to learn and enhance the soft skills continuously as well as demonstrate relevant skills in our resume and during the interview to increase our success rate in the interview process.
