Hi [NAME],

Employers need job candidates who have soft skills, but they struggle to find them. "Soft skills" such as teamwork and communication are the essential workplace skills needed to succeed in any career whereas technical skills, such as coding, phlebotomy or welding, are used in specific jobs.

  • In a Wall Street Journal survey, 92% of U.S. executives said soft skills were as important as technical skills, but 89% said they have difficulty finding candidates with these skills.

Want to know how you can stand out? Focus on developing your soft skills. Sign into your free CareerPrepped account to start developing your soft skills.
