Tips:

When applying for a job, many people tend to emphasize their hard skills – the specific knowledge and abilities required for a particular job. These are typically skills that can be clearly defined and measured. It’s also necessary to highlight the most important soft skills you possess, to show why you’re the best candidate for the job.

很多人在求職時,，會傾向于強調(diào)自己的硬性技能-特定的知識與特定工作所需要的能力,。這些硬性技能,，都是可以被明確定義和衡量的,。同樣，在求職時,，去突出你所擁有的軟性技能也是很有必要的,，以說明為什么你才是這份工作的最佳候選人,。

When you are seeking employment, your soft skills can be as important as the hard skills that are required to achieve success on the job.

在求職時,，軟性技能與在工作上獲得成功所需的硬性技能同等地重要,。

Soft skills are much more difficult to define and measure – they are the interpersonal or “people” skills that help you to successfully interact with others in the workplace. Regardless of the job, you have to interact effectively with supervisors and people above and below you on the work chart, as well as others possibly- such as customers, vendors, patients, students, etc.

相對而言，很難去定義與衡量軟性技能,，因為這些是可以讓你在工作場所與他人成功互動的人際關系或者社交技能,。不管做什么工作，你都需要與上司，工作中的上下級人員,，以及其他可能的人員（諸如：客戶、供應商,、病人,、學生，等等）進行良性的互動,。

Companies seek candidates with both types of skills when hiring for most positions. That's because if you have a negative attitude, can't get along with others, don’t communicate well, don't work well as part of a team, and aren't able to think creatively and critically, it may not matter how well educated and competent you are. You need to have some set of people skills to get along in any job, not just those working directly with the public.

對于絕大多數(shù)崗位的招聘,，招聘單位都是尋找同時具備一定的硬性技能與軟性技能的候選人。因為,，如果態(tài)度消極,，就不能與他人友好相處，溝通不到位,，作為團隊的一份子工作不到位,，不能進行創(chuàng)造性和批判性地思考，而你的教育背景及競爭力好不好可能也沒有那么重要,。對于任何工作,，你都需要具備一定的社交技巧去了解，而不僅僅是那些與公眾直接相關的工作,。

Employment Skills Differ by Job

職業(yè)技能因工作而異

When you are seeking a leadership position, either as a manager, or a member of a team, you will want to highlight different assets than if you are seeking a technical position, for example. The soft skills you need to be an effective leader will include things like being able to delegate, and offer constructive criticism.

比如，如果你在尋找領導職位,，無論你尋找的是經(jīng)理職位,，還是團隊成員的職位，你都要比在尋找技術類崗位上更想去突出不一樣的價值,。想要成為一個高效的領導者,，你需要具備的軟性技能，包括：能授權他人,，并提供有建設性的批評,。

Information Technology positions require soft skills such as creativity and the ability to present ideas and solutions to individuals as well as groups. Strong communications skills, both written and oral are an important asset in virtually any field, at every level.

信息技術方面的崗位，需要諸如：創(chuàng)造性,，以及向個人及團隊提出想法與解決方案的能力,。幾乎在任何領域，任何崗位級別,，在書面及口頭上的良好溝通技能,，都是非常重要的財富。

How to Let Employers Know the Skills You Have

如何讓雇主了解你所具備的技能

When you're writing resumes and cover letters, it's essential to reference the skills the employer is seeking in your job application materials. The same is true when you're interviewing. Review the job posting, and be prepared to give specific examples of the skills you have (both hard and soft) that are a match for the job requirements.

在寫簡歷與求職信時,，在求職材料中參照雇主正在尋找的技能,，是很有必要的。當然,，在面試時,，也是一樣的。查閱招聘信息,，給出自己所具備的匹配職位要求的硬性與軟性技能方面的具體例子,。

Also be sure to present your soft skills to the hiring manager during interviews. Show off your positive attitude and enthusiasm throughout the interview.

同時，請確保在面試中向招聘經(jīng)理展示出你的軟性技能,，并在整個面試環(huán)節(jié),，展示出積極的態(tài)度與激情。

Don't just say that you have the skills the company needs – prove it to them. Prepare thoroughly for your interview, and have a few examples of instances when you used your soft skills effectively. Know enough about the position and the company to converse comfortably and knowledgeably with the interviewer. Actions can genuinely speak louder than words - especially in a competitive workplace.

不要僅僅說自己已經(jīng)具備了公司所需要的技能,，還要證明出來,！做好充分的面試準備，有效運用軟性技能，請列舉出一些例子,。對所求職的職位與單位進行充分的了解,，以期能與面試官進行輕松、有見識地交談,。尤其是在一個存在競爭的環(huán)境中,，確實是：行勝于言！
