Build Mini-Stories
说一些小故事
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建议求职者可以就他们认为有用的软技能编一些小故事,然后在面试中说出来。“你应该准备一些详细的实例来说明你是如何利用这些软技能完成一项特别的任务或解决了一个问题,这样可以让别人更好地明白你拥有的才也可以解决他们的问题。”
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。
如果你认为自己并不具备得到这份工作的软技能,那该怎么办?虽然说你不可能去参加一门培训课程来培养你的幽默感,但是你可以寻求一位导师或朋友的帮助来提高你的软技巧,比如说,写邮件的礼节。专家认为很多的软技能都可以在工作中获得或提高。考虑免费承担更多的任务,或抓住机会进入一个团队,这样在下次面试中你就有奇闻异事可以谈了。
