Knobull Makes Sure Critical Skills Stand Out On Career Searcher's Resume

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Jan. 25, 2024 - PRLog -- Lynn Bentley, President of Knobull says, "Designing your resume is all about selling yourself. Many of us jump straight to the most obvious examples of success. But there may be a whole range of important skills that you're leaving out."

The Knobull team knows a thing or two about landing that job you've always wanted and experts at the JobStars career platform, that can be accessed on the Knobull homepage, have given some excellent advice.

Soft skills are more about the way we are as people, as opposed to the actual tasks we're able to complete in a role. Some soft skills that particularly appeal to bosses are creativity, persuasion, collaboration, adaptability, and emotional intelligence.

Creativity

Companies need people who can creatively approach problems and tasks across all business roles, from software engineering to HR. Focus on honing your ability to bring new ideas to the table in 2024.

Persuasion

Leaders and hiring managers value individuals who can explain the "why". To advance your career, hone your ability to effectively communicate ideas.

Collaboration

High-functioning teams can accomplish more than any individual — and leaders know it. Learn how your strengths fit with your colleagues' to develop the best way to reach a common goal.

Adaptability

The only constant in life, and in business, is change. To stand out in 2024, embrace that reality, bring a positive attitude.

Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence is the ability to perceive, evaluate, and respond to your own emotions and the emotions of others. Newer to the top most in-demand skills list.

There are lots of ways to improve soft skills, and generally your ability to bring your best self to work.

Bentley concluded, "To help develop these skills specifically, edX, available at Knobull, offers a range of online training courses that improve all critical soft and hard skills!"
