Search Results: Internship

Employers continually say they want candidates with "soft skills" as the "hard skills" will be readily apparent and presumed from college / military / apprenticeship / internship experience.

In my experience, the "INTER-personal skills" are:
1) Coachable to a degree
2) Improve w/ experience
3) Result from BOTH internal AND external factors / influences

IMHO, the "INTRA-personal skills are the most important, most elusive and most difficult to quantify. More to the point, you have them or you don't. There's no faking it or experiences that can teach you them. The qualities listed are innate and fixed.

I would even add some more innate ADVANTAGES (NOT SKILLS) like charm, humor, self-deprecation, good looks, ability to read the room, small talk, wit, excellent memory, selflessness, diverse interests, fashion sense, complimentary, etc.

Given all this, we've been asked to interview two candidates for the job of POTUS.

Which candidate has the better package of INTRA-PERSONAL skills?

Which candidate has more / better soft skills among the ones I listed in 4th paragraph?

Now the hard part, can you PLEASE GIVE REAL CONCRETE EXAMPLES OF YOUR CHOSEN CANDIDATE DISPLAYING THOSE QUALITIES. ACTUAL EVENTS & CIRCUMSTANCES!! The more examples of more qualities would be very helpful to me! KEEP IT POSITIVE!! NO NEGATIVITY!!

For you young uns, I'll explain what MS Office is in the update!

The suggestion below would apply to some / most non-violent crimes,

Ankle monitor / halfway house, REAL EFFECTIVE STAFFED parole supervision, community service and monetary fines?

Perhaps mandatory labor in which they learn a trade (s) and must demonstrate apprentice, journeyman or mastery level to gain release?

Maybe mandatory education classes, counseling, emotional regulation techniques, psychological reconditioning, etc.

A national service program for non-violent offenders maybe running internships in their area if expertise on home release? Maybe an international program where they provide service and in steps work their way back home?

Just an aside. There are three things that should never be run for profit, prisons are one of them. Healthcare and education are the other two.

We often hear about "unemployment" probably more so than "underemployment".

Let's say a guy is an experienced software engineer. He gets laid off, and due to the competitiveness of the job market, he struggles to land a new role in his profession. Therefore, he has to pick up a role as a stocker at a grocery store to make some income in the meantime, because, after all, some income is better than none.

Or, there is a woman who graduated from a university with a bachelor's degree in graphic design. She is unable to land a career despite submitting hundreds of applications and having internship experience. Therefore, she has to continue her day job as a waitress until she is able to get her foot in the door.

These are some examples of "underemployment". Sometimes, taking a job below one's skill level is a choice, often times it is not.
