A soft skill on a resume is an ability or character trait that you list to show employers how well you work and interact with other people. Soft skills are learned naturally through the course of your life, and unlike technical skills, can’t be taught in a classroom.
Employers consider candidates with strong soft skills particularly valuable because they’re likely to be great team players and contribute to the company in the long-term.
Some examples of soft skills include interpersonal skills, communication skills, and leadership skills.
When listing soft skills on your resume, you shouldn’t just list them in your resume’s skills section. Instead, demonstrate soft skills using examples in your work experience section.
