What soft skills should all Senior Manageds possess?
C. Darren Brooks Ph.D.: While advancements in technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics occupy center stage in many areas of management practice, soft skills continue to be seen as equally or even more important skills for success in the field of management. Soft skills are typically described as personal attributes, qualities, and characteristics that enable us to interact more effectively with others. In most fields of management, our ability to communicate, work with, and interact with other people constitutes a significant portion of the work we do. Consequently, employers are focused on identifying candidates who possess strong skills are areas of communication (verbal, written, and non-verbal), leadership and followership, collaboration, an ability to work in teams, intellectual curiosity, adaptability, conflict management, problem-solving, creativity.

What skills stand out on Senior Managed resumes?
Marta Diaz: -The skills that will stand out on a resume are the ones that meet the needs of the employer as described in the position description. Adaptability/flexibility are valuable during this time of uncertainty created by the pandemic.
-Digital literacy skills in remote work and learning and business software application skills are essential for business students. Graduates are learning these skills in college, bringing these skills to the employer rather than developing these skills on the job.
-Many businesses are also training online, so students can have an advantage because they have learned how to learn online.
