Aside from qualifications, like work experience and know-how, employers want their employees to possess certain “soft skills.” Before we tell you what the most commonly desired skills are, let’s state the obvious. Hiring managers tell you exactly what skills they want in the job description. Many candidates only skim the posting before applying and then never return. Rereading the job description carefully before an interview will help you focus your answers around what the interviewer wants to hear.
