Don’t Underestimate Your Soft-Skills. They Are Very Valuable

Earlier in my career, my interview preparation focussed more on my technical skills.

It was logical to repeat and recite why all my technical skills mattered to the organisation I was looking to work for. And while this is important, there’s something you must not overlook - The importance of Soft Skills.

In a 2020 report published by LinkedIn, it became very clear that employers actively look out for soft skills too. This includes skills such as communication, team work, analysis, negotiation, emotional intelligence etc.

What soft skills could the employer be interested in? Think about it.
