Selling your skills can land you a great job!
From new entreats into the job market to seasoned professionals, soft skills are often the silent marketing tool that you should be convey in every interview. The skills landscape is constantly changing. Ongoing analysis shows the number of skills required for a single job is growing 10% every year. Meanwhile, more than 30% of the skills that were needed in 2017 will soon be irrelevant.
For example, 83% of job postings on LinkedIn from June to July 2020, required at least one or more of the following skills:
Communication
Business management.
Problem solving.
Data science.
Data storage technologies.
Leadership.
Project management.
Remember that selling yourself every interview is the key to your success!
Each time you apply for a role go over all your attributes and look at them from the precise perspective of that particular job. You will most likely need to present the same skill differently to one employer than to another. This may make job hunting more time consuming than you are used to, but five jobs applied for with precision is better than 50 applications written generically. If you have the skills, make sure you make the most of any opportunity to demonstrate them. Indeed, just showing you have an awareness of your transferable skills and their relevance to another role indicates that you are someone capable of seeing the bigger picture.
