NZ looking for ‘soft ‘skills’

According to recruitment expert Hays, technical skills are not the only skills in demand in the New Zealand job market. Applicants should also consider selling their ‘soft skills’, defined by Director Jason Walker as interpersonal and communication skills, team management, leadership and organizational abilities. According to Jason, soft skills are highly sought after by employers and some will even offer training to a candidate who is otherwise fit for the role but perhaps could benefit from tuition in one of these areas.
