Why you’re not getting the job. Top 10 Most Desirable Skills Hiring Managers are looking for.
Employers place a lot of emphasis on finding the “right” candidates with the “right” skills and competencies for their organizations.
Depending on what profession you choose to work in, there can be very specific skills and knowledge needed to do the job.

It turns out that there are skills equally — or maybe even more important — that employers want in their next hire: the right “soft skills” or “key employable skills”. This means, “personal attributes that enable someone to interact effectively and harmoniously with other people.”

Top 10 Most Desirable Skills Hiring Managers are looking for.

- Creativity

Communication is obviously extremely important to employers. The above list are the skills you need to develop to move ahead in your career and in other parts of life. It’s that simple.
“Friendly personality” even made the list! This shows that being likable is half the battle when trying to get a job, networking, or making friends.
Have you ever worked with someone who complained, had a negative outlook on life, and was toxic to the work environment? It’s not fun. No one wants to be around those people. Don’t be that person!
