Putting the Skills in Play
展示你的這些軟技能

Other common soft skills demanded on job listings include "time management" (you can get everything done on time), "strong work ethic" (you're not inclined to take three-hour lunches), and "problem solver."
另外一些工作中要求的軟技能有“時(shí)間管理”(你可以及時(shí)做完所有的事情)、“強(qiáng)大的工作熱情”(你沒有吃頓午飯要花三個(gè)小時(shí)的習(xí)慣)以及“問題解決能手”。

Though you might be able to hint at any of these qualities on your resume, it's really in an interview where you let the skills shine. "At interview time, most hiring managers are digging deeper into core skills, but also evaluating soft skills, which depend on what is necessary for the position," says Lindsay Olson, partner and recruiter at Paradigm Staffing.
雖然你可以在簡歷中將所有這些技巧都寫上去,但是只有在面試中你才能夠讓別人真正信服(你真的擁有這些才能)Paradigm Staffing的股東、招聘人員Lindsay Olson說:“在面試期間,大部分招聘經(jīng)理都會(huì)更深刻地挖掘你的主要技能,但是同時(shí)也會(huì)評估你的這些軟技能,主要是由你面試的職位需要所決定的。”

You don't have all of these soft skills? Don't worry. Even in today's job market, it's not necessary to be super-human. Cross-Wilson says: "Employers don't expect you to be brilliant at everything. In the interview you can be honest if there is a weakness you have. If you are able to be relaxed and be yourself, they'll see you as authentic."
以上軟技能你一樣都沒有?不用擔(dān)心,即使是在如今這樣的求職市場上,也沒必要變?yōu)槌?。Cross-Wilson說:“雇主并沒有期待你在所有事情上都表現(xiàn)優(yōu)秀。在面試上你可以坦誠地說出自己的缺點(diǎn)。如果你很輕松,表現(xiàn)自如,他們會(huì)認(rèn)為你很可信?!?/p>

Build Mini-Stories
說一些小故事

Olson suggested that job seekers build "mini-stories" around the soft skills they think would be valuable for the job and share them at the interview. "You should prepare specific examples of how you dealt with a specific task or issue that will help others understand you have skills to solve their problems too."
Olson建議求職者可以就他們認(rèn)為有用的軟技能編一些小故事,然后在面試中說出來?!澳銘?yīng)該準(zhǔn)備一些詳細(xì)的實(shí)例來說明你是如何利用這些軟技能完成一項(xiàng)特別的任務(wù)或解決了一個(gè)問題,這樣可以讓別人更好地明白你擁有的才也可以解決他們的問題?!?/p>

What if you don't think you have the necessary soft skills to land the job? It's not like you can take a class to boost your sense of humor, but you can ask a mentor or a friend for help in improving, for example, your email etiquette. Many soft skills can be built or improved on the job, experts say. Consider volunteering for more responsibility, or jump at the chance to be on a team, so that you'll have anecdotes to tell on your next interview.
如果你認(rèn)為自己并不具備得到這份工作的軟技能,那該怎么辦?雖然說你不可能去參加一門培訓(xùn)課程來培養(yǎng)你的幽默感,但是你可以尋求一位導(dǎo)師或朋友的幫助來提高你的軟技巧,比如說,寫郵件的禮節(jié)。專家認(rèn)為很多的軟技能都可以在工作中獲得或提高??紤]免費(fèi)承擔(dān)更多的任務(wù),或抓住機(jī)會(huì)進(jìn)入一個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì),這樣在下次面試中你就有奇聞異事可以談了。
