In addition to outlining the hard skills required for a job description, positions are often listed with attributes or personality traits that employers are looking for in candidates. The best approach is to choose clear core soft skills and share short stories about how these characteristics have been useful in past jobs. For example, to show your motivation, you could say, "I am a manager and at my last job I took over a department with a high turnover. Provide a comfortable work environment by offering a flexible work schedule and Praising employees for their achievements increases employee retention.”
