The irony of soft skills being indispensable is that we never get to show them when looking for work.
They don’t show up on a resume, a cover letter, nor a sound design or programming test.
They may show up in a chat or quick phone call but because time is limited and anxiety happens, this might not be the best display of said skills.
Personally it looks like I have great soft skills, able to glue with any team, in a very wide range of situations. But with the way companies hire I can’t never “sell” that, yet it’s a very important, sought after aspect of a candidate applying to a position.
Hiring and working seem so disconnected.
