Survey Reveals Majority of Employers Covet Soft Skills in Candidates
If you want to stand out from the pack (and by that we mean other candidates), then let your soft skills shine!
That’s because a new survey by CareerBuilder indicates that 77 percent of employers say soft skills are just important as hard skills.
We would argue in some cases they’re actually more important. After all, you can always teach someone Drupal or WordPress but you can’t always send them to charm school. And actually, 16 percent of employers in the survey said the skills associated with your personality and attitude trumps technical skills.
Per the press release, it’s clear companies look for the “best of both worlds.”
