#Resilience

Struggles are a part of life and makes us better to endure them. This Fast Company article shows up how we can endure and then thrive. Every job search episode has a struggle. Sometimes, it comes from our having to let resolve set in. We know we need to get it done, but there are times we haven’t found resolution and success eludes us. It’s good we learn from the process difficulties take us through. If any thing, we learn how to thrive so we can help others persist.

I like the way you move…people

If you give people the security to feel their contributions matter whether manager or mail person. It’s your soft skills, baby!

 94% of recruiting professionals believe an employee with stronger soft skills has a better chance of being promoted to a leadership position than an employee with more years of experience but weaker soft skills.

~Forbes, 8/18/17

They set you apart from the crowds if you can demonstrate them either through recommendations, references, or a recording of how you use them training others. The power of seeing them in action or someone speaking on your behalf makes you memorable. If you want to compete, understand how you can demonstrate the soft skill functionality in your profession.

🔥🔥🔥What’s 🔥 in soft skills?

This article is from 2016 but I don’t think the desired soft skills have changed. I find this list of soft skills useful and the same list seen on most surveys.

😒😒😒when soft skills go wrong 😒😒😒
