Most job-seekers wish they could unlock the
secret formula to winning the hearts and minds of employers. What, they wonder,
is that unique combination of skills and values that make employers salivate
with excitement?
Every employer is looking for a specific set of
skills from job-seekers that match the skills necessary to perform a particular
job. But beyond these job-specific technical skills, certain skills are nearly
universally sought by employers. The good news is that most job-seekers possess
these skills to some extent. The better news is that job-seekers with
weaknesses in these areas can improve their skills through training,
professional development, or obtaining coaching/mentoring from someone who
understands these skills.
