“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
When applying for a job, you routinely have to fill out an application or submit a resume. Through this process, you tell your prospective employer, in writing, about your experience and the training you have to be successful to do the job and work with their team. You include your education, qualifications, certifications, work experience, and a bit of personal information so they can best evaluate your application. Once the employer selects your application in writing, the next phase is an interview.
This interview is less about you telling them your experience, which was shared in your application and resume. This interview is about meeting you, face to face, and testing your “soft skills”. These skills include, but are not limited to:
