Use Accomplishments to Highlight Soft Skills

In your resume and cover letter, “weave in past accomplishments that highlight your soft skills in action,” writes Peggy Klaus in her article for Quint Careers, Are You Up To Snuff When It Comes To Soft Skills? “If you are having a hard time coming up with specifics, ask yourself: What have I done that demonstrates my problem-solving and critical-thinking abilities or my ability to lead and motivate others, especially under challenging circumstances? Try to recall a time when a supervisor or colleague complimented you on how you handled a situation,” Klaus writes.
