What questions are you not asking yourself?
We ignore information to avoid negative feelings. Psychologists say that human beings bury their heads in sand because they feel guilty when confronted with reality.
This is the "ostrich problem" i.e. ignoring information helps us because of the need to avoid negative feelings. Ignorance is bliss.
But in long term, it is bad. We need to learn to face the reality and find answers to the questions which we are ignoring.
• Am I happy?
• Do I like my Job?
• How meaningful is my work?
• Am I doing what I truly want to do?
• Am I proud of what I am doing?
• Am I doing anything which makes me and people around me happy?
• If happiness is a currency, how rich do I think I am?
• Am I doing what I believe in, or am I settling for what I am doing?
We can change only if we are honest to ourselves and find out what matters to us.

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.
