Top Ten Qualities Employers Want 

A look at the traits most in demand with Employers,
and
how to identify them from your handwriting. 

by Fiona MacKay Young
 

As a Career Consultant, I not only help my clients decide what career they want to pursue, and help them with job search techniques, I also help them become more aware of the “soft” skills that employers are asking for.   

Most people are only too willing to tell the potential employer about their qualifications and their “hard” skills (skills like computer keyboarding, mechanical skills – skills you can see, touch and feel) but overlook the all important personal qualities or “soft” skills. 

Below is one list of soft skills much in demand with employers.  The brief description of how to identify these skills from handwriting, include only the most obvious traits for each.  More on using Handwriting Analysis in the Hiring Process
