Whether you are interviewing for a software engineering position or interviewing to get into a bootcamp, both processes require technical ability. But technical ability is not the only skill that employers/bootcamps look for in a potential candidate. As individuals, we tend to focus on our hard skills at the expense of soft skills. While hard skills show whether you are qualified for a job/bootcamp, your soft skills show whether you are suited for a job, workplace or bootcamp.

Important Soft Skills:

• Critical Thinking
• Communication
• Listening
• Adaptability
• Positive Attitude
• Great Work Ethic
