Marketability and Skills Needed to Get More Job Acceptances

Good Afternoon, Jobcase Community!

I have two questions- What hard and soft skills are needed to make a job candidate more appealing to employers and what ideas can Jobcase members provide to make one more marketable in today's job market? I ask this because I have been noticing trends of hiring managers doing internal hiring within companies and other business entities and listing various skills, software programs and certifications in their job descriptions. I know that everyone cannot know everything, but I am assuming that the hiring process involves job seekers having technological know-how and knowing someone.

Sage advice and responses are greatly appreciated! Thank you and have a good day.

Hi Heather L. Burnside - definitely try out Laila Nashat 's link. I would add a caveat that it largely depends on the job your are applying for. A programmer, for instance, is gonna have a different approach to listing the software they know vs an office administrator.

Hope this helps! If you have specific ideas about a job you'd like to apply for, I'd love to help!
