In other words, these are teamwork, work ethic, work style, or interpersonal skills. These abilities not only allow you to be more adaptable in your business, but they also benefit your personal life. Soft skills are very important to modern employers, and career coaching may help you learn how to improve your soft skills and discover areas where you can improve.

1. Communication

Effective communication abilities continue to be the most desired attribute by employers. Clear presentations, correspondence, and teamwork are ensured by effective communication, which encompasses both written and spoken abilities. 

Why It’s Important: Clear communication fosters teamwork, reduces misunderstandings, and enhances productivity.

How to Develop It: Join public speaking clubs like Toastmasters, practice writing concise emails, or take online courses on communication.

How to Develop It: Earn certifications like PMP (Project Management Professional) or take online courses on project management tools like Trello and Asana.

4. Leadership

Leadership goes beyond managing a team—it’s about inspiring, motivating, and guiding others toward success. In 2024, inclusive and empathetic leadership is particularly valued.

Why It’s Important: Strong leaders foster a positive workplace culture and drive organizational growth.

How to Develop It: Volunteer for leadership roles, mentor others, or study leadership styles through books or courses.

5. Adaptability

The pace of change in today’s world demands professionals who can adapt quickly to new technologies, roles, and environments. Adaptability is the key to thriving amid uncertainty.

Why It’s Important: Companies increasingly rely on data to optimize operations and improve customer experiences.

How to Develop It: Learn tools like Excel, SQL, Tableau, or Python for data analysis through platforms like Coursera or Udemy.

3. Software Development

The ability to design and develop software is critical for tech-heavy industries. With constant innovations, software developers are at the forefront of technological advancement.

Why It’s Important: Software drives automation, apps, and enterprise solutions that businesses depend on.

How to Develop It: Start with beginner-friendly programming languages like Python or JavaScript, then build your portfolio by working on real-world projects.

4. UI/UX Design

UI/UX design ensures user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing digital experiences. Businesses are investing heavily in UX to retain customers and enhance brand loyalty.

Why It’s Important: Good design is the foundation of successful websites and apps.

How to Develop It: Master tools like Figma, Adobe XD, and Sketch, and study UX principles through industry blogs and courses.

5. Web Development

Web development remains a cornerstone skill in the digital age. Whether it’s front-end, back-end, or full-stack development, expertise in creating robust websites is highly sought after.

Why It’s Important: Businesses need fast, secure, and responsive websites to stay competitive.

How to Develop It: Learn coding languages like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and frameworks such as React or Node.js.

How to Incorporate These Skills When Applying for Jobs

1. Highlight Skills in Your Resume

patience being tested. being forced by a bizarre unfortunate situation to adhere to university requirement technicality by taking this simple basic elementary "introduction to environmental history" class.

this class is from facilitators/program which do, like, "history of the American frontier" or "history of fishing and hunting" and still basically subscribe to that old-school twentieth-century idealization and celebration of characters like Teddy Roosevelt and reverence for a mythical arc-of-history-bent-towards-justice narrative of the often-clumsy but ultimately-benevolent US federal government and its mission to "save nature" through the miracle of "sustained yield," while heroic federal land management agencies and "heritage" institutions lead to way, staffed by exceptional individuals (appeals to nostalgia for the frontier and an imagined landscape of the American West; ego-stroking appeals to flattering self-image that center the environmentalist or academic). where they invoke, y'know, ideas like "ecology is important because don't you enjoy cross-country skiing in The Woods with your niece and nephew? don't you like hunting and fishing?" which makes it feel like a time capsule of appeals and discourses from the 1970s. and it invokes concept of "untouched wilderness" (while eliding scale of historical Indigenous environmental relationships and current ongoing colonial violence/extractivism). but just ever-so-slightly updated with a little bit of chic twenty-first-century flair like a superficial land acknowledgement or a reference to "labor histories" or "history from below," which is extra aggravating when the old ideologies/institutions are still in power but they're muddying the water and diluting the language/frameworks (it's been strange, watching words like "multispecies" and "Anthropocene" over the years slowly but surely show-up on the posters, fliers, course descriptions, by now even appearing adjacent to the agri-business and resource extraction feeder programs, like a recuperation or appropriation.) even from a humanities angle, it's still, they're talking at me like "You probably didn't know this, but environmental history is actually pretty entangled with political and social events. In fact, we can synthesize sources and glean environmental info from wacky places like workers' rolls in factories, ship's logs, and poetry from the era." and i'm nodding like YEP.

the first homework assignment is respond to this: "Define and describe 'the Anthropocene'. Do you think 'the Anthropocene' is a useful concept? Why or why not?" Respond in 300 words.

so for fun, right now in class, going to see how fast i can pull up discussion of Anthropocene-as-concept solely from my old posts on this microblogging site.

ok, found some

I think that the danger in any universal narrative or epoch or principle is exactly that it can itself become a colonizing force. [...] I’m suspicious of the Anthropocene as concept for the very reason that it subsumes so many peoples, nations, histories, geographies, political orders. For that reason, I think ideas like the Anthropocene can be a useful short-hand for a cluster of tangible things going on with the Earth at the moment, but we have to be very careful about how fluid and dynamic ideas become concretized into hegemonic principles in the hands of researchers, policymakers, and politicians. There’s so much diversity in histories and experiences and environmental realities even between relatively linked geographies here in Canada [...]. Imagine what happens when we try to do that on a global scale - and a lot of euro-western Anthropocene, climate change and resilience research risks doing that - eliding local specificities and appropriating knowledge to serve a broader euro-western narrative without attending to the inherent colonial and imperial realities of science and policy processes, or even attending to the ways that colonial capitalist expansion has created these environmental crises to begin with. While we, as a collective humanity, are struggling with the realities of the Anthropocene, it is dangerous to erase the specific histories, power-relations, political orders that created the crisis to begin with. So, I’m glad that a robust critique of the Anthropocene as a concept is emerging.

The Great Acceleration is the latest in a series of human-driven planetary changes that constitute what a rising chorus of scientists, social scientists, and humanists have labeled the Anthropocene - a new Age of Humans. [...] But what the Anthropocene label masks, and what the litany of graphs documenting the Great Acceleration hide, is a history of racial oppression and violence, along with wealth inequality, that has built and sustained engines of economic growth and consumption over the last four centuries. [...] The plantation, Sidney Mintz long ago observed, was a “synthesis of field and factory,” an agro-industrial system of enterprise [...]. Plantation legacies, along with accompanying strategies of survival and resistance, dwell in the racialized geographies of the United States’ and Brazil’s prison systems. They surface in the inequitable toxic burdens experienced by impoverished communities of color in places like Cancer Alley, an industrial corridor of petrochemical plants running along the Mississippi River from New Orleans to Baton Rouge, where cotton was once king. And they appear in patterns of foreign direct investment and debt servitude that structure many land deals in the Caribbean, Brazil, and sub-Saharan Africa [...]. [C]limatologists and global change scientists from the University of London, propose instead 1610 as a date for the golden spike of the Anthropocene. The date marked a detectable global dip in carbon dioxide concentrations, precipitated, they argue, by the death of nearly 50 million indigenous human inhabitants [...]. The degradation of soils in the tobacco and cotton-growing regions in the American South, or in the sugarcane growing fields of many Caribbean islands, for example, was a consequence of an economic and social system that inflicted violence upon the land and the people enslaved to work it. Such violent histories are not so readily evident in genealogies that date the Anthropocene’s emergence to the Neolithic Revolution 12,000 years ago, the onset of Europe’s industrial revolution circa 1800, or the Trinity nuclear test of 1945. Sugarcane plantations were already prevalent throughout the Mediterranean basin during the late middle ages. But it was during the early modern era, and specifically in the Caribbean, where the intersection of emerging proto-capitalist economic models based on migratory forced labor (first indentured servitude, and later slavery), intensive land usage, globalized commerce, and colonial regimes sustained on the basis of relentless racialized violence, gave rise to the transformative models of plantations that reshaped the lives and livelihoods of human and non-human beings on a planetary scale. [...] We might, following the lead of science studies scholar Donna Haraway and anthropologist Anna Tsing, more aptly designate this era the Plantationocene. [...] It is also an invitation to see, in the words of geographer Laura Pulido, “the Anthropocene as a racial process,” one that has and will continue to produce “racially uneven vulnerability and death." [...] And how have such material transformations sustained global flows of knowledge and capital that continue to reproduce the plantation in enduring ways?

Geologists and other scientists will fight over [the definition of the beginning start-date of the Anthropocene] in scientific language, seeking traces of carbon dioxide that index the worst offenses of European empire which rent and violated the flesh, bodies, and governance structures of Indigenous and other sovereign peoples in the name of gold, lumber, trade, land, and power. [...] The stories we tell about the origins of the Anthropocene implicate how we understand the relations we have with our surrounds. In other words, the naming of the Anthropocene epoch and its start date have implications not just for how we understand the world, but this understanding will have material consequences, consequences that affect body and land.

From Aime and Suzanne Cesaire, C. L. R. James, Claudia Jones, Eduoard Glissant, through Sylvia Wynter, Christina Sharpe, and so many others, critical anticolonial and race theory has been written from the specific histories that marked the Black Atlantic. [...] Glissant also reminds us, secondly, of how cunning the absorptive powers of [...] liberal capitalism are - how quickly specific relations are remade as relations-erasing universal abstractions. [...] This absorptive, relations-erasing universalism is especially apparent in some contemporary discourses of […] liberalism and climate collapse - what some call the Anthropocene - especially those that anchor the crisis in a general Human calamity which, as Sylvia Wynter has noted, is merely the name of an overdetermined and specific [White] European man. […] [T]he condition of creating this new common European world was the destruction of a multitude of existing black and brown worlds. The tsunami of colonialism was not seen as affecting humanity, but [...] these specific people. They were specific - what happened to them may have been necessary, regrettable, intentional, accidental - but it is always them. It is only when these ancestral histories became present for some, for those who had long benefitted from the dispossession [...], that suddenly the problem is all of us, as human catastrophe.

The narrative arc [of White "liberal humanism"] [...] is often told as a kind of European coming-of-age story. […] The Anthropocene discourse follows the same coming-of-age [...] script, searching for a material origin story that would explain the newly identified trajectory of the Anthropos […]. Sylvia Wynter, W.E.B. DuBois, and Achille Mbembe all showed how that genealogy of [White subjecthood] was [...] articulated through sixteenth- through nineteenth-century [historiographies and discourses] in the context of colonialism, [...] as well as forming the material praxis of their rearrangement (through mining, ecological rearrangements and extractions, and forms of geologic displacements such as plantations, dams, fertilizers, crops, and introduction of “alien” animals). […] As Wynter (2000) commented, “The degradation of concrete humans, that was/is the price of empire, of the kind of [Eurocentric epistemology] that underlies it” (154).

As Yarimar Bonilla suggests in regard to post-Irma-and-Maria Puerto Rico, “vulnerability is not simply a product of natural conditions; it is a political state and a colonial condition.” Many in the Caribbean therefore speak about the coloniality of disaster, and the unnaturalness of these “natural” disasters [...]. Others describe this temporality by shifting [...] toward an idea of the Plantationocene [...]. As Moore and her colleagues write, “Plantation worlds, both past and present, offer a powerful reminder that environmental problems cannot be decoupled from histories of colonialism, capitalism, and racism that have made some human beings more vulnerable [...].” [W]e see that contemporary uneven socioecologies associated with the rise of the industrial world ["the Anthropocene"] are based [...] also on the racialized denial and foreshortening of life for the sacrificial majority of black, brown, and Indigenous people and their relegation to the “sacrifice zones” of extractive industry. [...] [A]ny appropriate response to the contemporary climate emergency must first appreciate its foundations in the past history of the violent, coercive, transatlantic system of plantation slavery; in the present global uneven development, antiblackness, and border regimes that shape human vulnerability [...] that continues to influence who has access to resources, safety, and preferable ecologies [...] and who will be relegated to the “plantation archipelagoes” (as Sylvia Wynter called them) [...].

Indigenous genocide and removal from land and enslavement are prerequisites for power becoming operationalized in premodernity [...]; it was/is a means to operationalize extraction (therefore race should be considered as foundational rather than as periphery to the production of those structures and of global space). [...] Wynter suggests that we […] consider 1452 as the beginning of the New World, as African slaves are put to work on the first plantations on the Portuguese island of Madeira, initiating the “sugar-slave” complex - a massive replantation of ecologies and forced relocation of people […]. Wynter argues that the invention of the figure of Man in 1492 as the Portuguese [and Spanish] travel to the Americas instigates at the same time “a refiguring of humanness” in the idea of race. [...] The natal moment of the 1800 Industrial Revolution, […] [apparently] locates Anthropocene origination in […] the "new" metabolisms of technology and matter enabled by the combination of fossil fuels, new engines, and the world as market. […] The racialization of epistemologies of life and nonlife is important to note here […]. While [this industrialization in the nineteenth century] […] undoubtedly transformed the atmosphere with […] coal, the creation of another kind of weather had already established its salient forms in the mine and on the plantation. Paying attention to the prehistory of capital and its bodily labor, both within coal cultures and on plantations that literally put “sugar in the bowl” (as Nina Simone sings) […]. The new modes of material accumulation and production in the Industrial Revolution are relational to and dependent on their preproductive forms in slavery […]. In 1833, Parliament finally abolished slavery in the British Caribbean, and the taxpayer payout of £20 million in “compensation” [paid by the government to slave owners for their lost "property"] built the material, geophysical (railways, mines, factories), and imperial infrastructures of Britain and its colonial enterprises and empire. [...] A significant proportion of funds were invested in the railway system connecting London and Birmingham (home of cotton production and […] manufacturing for plantations), Cambridge and Oxford, and Wales and the Midlands (for coal). Insurance companies flourished [...]. The slave-sugar-coal nexus both substantially enriched Britain and made it possible for it to transition into a colonial industrialized power […]. The slave trade […] fashioned the economic conditions (and institutions, such as the insurance and finance industries) for industrialization.

i turned in my work laptop RIP end of an era

[benchwarming]

what if i just quit my job. like what if i just......quit it.

[nobodyexpectsthe]

HAHA I HAVE MADE IT TO THE LAST ROUND OF INTERVIEWS. THEY'RE EXPIDITING IT BC I HAVE OTHER OFFERS. THIS IS IN THE BAG.

[foundationsofdecay]

"Option to reside at the office with your own private bedroom" oh that really does not bode well for the work/life balance on this one

[tehnakki]

I had to take one of those dumb startup EQ tests where they show you people's faces and you have to judge the emotions. Imo, these kinds of test are some utter bullshit especially because I'm pretty faceblind when it comes to actual humans but I'm an ace at these tests. But the COO was impressed at my perfect score (lol) so I'd like to share my "special knowledge ™️".

At the beginning of these tests there's usually a tutorial of some kind. In that tutorial they'll give you the full range of emotions on one or two people's faces. Take a minute to map each face to the emoji it most fits and pick out what the characteristics are that make it that emoji.

For example: happiness 😁 Characterized by scrunched eyes and a big smile

Sadness. 😞 A frown and usually droopy eyelids, mouth closed.

Fear 😟 droopy face but the mouth is open

Anger. 😡 Wrinkle between the eyebrow from scrunched brows. Mouth small.

Disgust. 😕 Looks like anger but with an asymmetrical mouth

Once you are sure about what the 6-ish emotions they will be using are, focus ONLY on the criteria you develop when making your initial guess and then do a quick check you aren't being racist or sexist. For example, if you think a black man is angry, double check his brow actually has a wrinkle and that his mouth his symmetrical. No wrinkle? It's fear, mouth is asymmetrical? It's disgust.

One thing I've definitely noticed over the last 10 years with these stupid tests is they've gotten better at not being racist so they will try to trip you up with people of colour giving neutral face but because they are put next to a white face you are tempted to see an emotion there that's not.

Anyways good luck if you ever come across one of these things and just know, you've got more EQ in your pinky finger by virtue of being on this webbed site than the makers of this ridiculous tests have in their whole bodies.

How to Make a Resume in 2025 | Beginner's Guide

Creating a unique resume is critical for job searchers, particularly as we approach 2025. With the job market changing and competition increasing, it's crucial to learn how to create a resume that highlights your skills and grabs the attention of hiring managers. This beginner's tutorial will help you through the steps required to make a perfect CV, ensuring you stand out in a crowded job market. 

How to Make a Resume Perfect

Choose a Resume Format Carefully

The first step in creating an effective resume is selecting the right format. The three most common formats are:

Time-Based: This format lists your work experience in time-based, making it easy for employers to see your most recent roles first. It's ideal for those with a solid work history.

Functional: This format focuses on skills rather than work history, making it suitable for individuals with gaps in employment or those changing careers.

Combination: This format merges both time-based and functional elements, allowing you to highlight your skills while providing a timeline of your work history.

Choosing the right format is crucial as it sets the tone for presenting and perceiving your information.

Add the Right Contact Details

Your contact information is the first thing hiring managers will see. Ensure it includes:

Full Name: Make it prominent at the top of your resume.

Phone Number: Use a reliable mobile number where you can be reached easily.

Professional Email Address: Avoid casual or outdated email addresses; opt for something simple and professional.

Location: Include your city and state; full addresses often must be revised.

LinkedIn Profile or Portfolio Link: Include links to your professional online presence if applicable.

Properly formatting this section ensures that employers can reach you without any hassle.

Write an Impactful Resume Summary

Writing an impactful resume summary is your chance to make a strong first impression. This brief section should:

Highlight your key qualifications and achievements.

Include specific metrics or accomplishments that demonstrate your value.

Tailor it to align with the job description, using relevant keywords.

A well-crafted summary can entice hiring managers to read further into your resume.

Pay Attention to Your Work Experience Section

Your work experience section should be detailed yet concise. Focus on:

Write job experience according to time-based order.

Including job titles, company names, locations, and dates of employment.

Describing responsibilities and achievements using bullet points for clarity.

Quantifying achievements with numbers when possible (e.g., "Increased sales by 20%").

This section should demonstrate your career progression and relevant experiences.

Add the Right Skills for the Job

Including both hard and soft skills is essential:

Hard Skills: These are specific technical abilities relevant to the job (e.g., programming languages, data analysis).

Soft Skills: These interpersonal skills showcase how you work with others (e.g., communication, teamwork).

Separate these skills into distinct sections to highlight them effectively. Ensure they align with the job description to enhance your chances of passing Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).

Keep Your Education Short and to the Point

Your education section should be straightforward:

Include degrees obtained, institutions attended, and graduation dates.

If you're a recent graduate, you may include relevant coursework or honours.

For those with extensive work experience, this section can be brief—focus on what’s most relevant.

Include a Cover Letter

While not part of your resume, a well-written cover letter can complement your application. It should:

Introduce yourself and explain why you're applying for the position.

Highlight key achievements from your resume that relate directly to the job.

Convey enthusiasm for the role and the company.

A cover letter provides an opportunity to personalize your application and make a stronger case for why you’re the right fit.

Download a perfect cover letter

Pick the Right Resume Format

Once you've gathered all the necessary information, it's time to focus on layout. Here are some tips for fixing your resume’s layout:

Make your ATS-Friendly Resumes

Fix Your Resume’s Layout

Add Clear Section Headings: Use bold or larger font sizes for headings like "Experience," "Education," and "Skills" to improve readability.

Adjust the Margins: Ensure there’s enough white space around the text; standard margins are typically 1 inch on all sides.

Choose a Professional Font: Stick with classic fonts like Arial, Calibri, or Times New Roman that are easy to read.

Set the Correct Font Size: Use 10-12 point font size for body text; headings can be slightly larger (14-16 points).

Use a PDF File: When submitting your resume electronically, save it as a PDF to preserve formatting across different devices.

A well-organized layout enhances professionalism and makes it easier for hiring managers to navigate through your qualifications.

AI Tools to Create ATS-Friendly Resumes

Creating an ATS-friendly resume is essential in today's competitive job market, as Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) filter resumes before they reach hiring managers. Using free AI tools will help you shorten this process and generate a remarkable resume that successfully highlights your qualifications.

Dubai's Smart City strategy

Dubai's Smart City Strategy is an ambitious initiative aimed at transforming the city into a global leader in technology, innovation, and sustainability. Launched by the Dubai government, this comprehensive strategy leverages digital technologies and data-driven insights to improve the lives of residents, enhance government services, and foster economic growth.

Key Pillars of Dubai's Smart City Strategy

Digital Transformation: At the core of the strategy is the digitization of government services. This includes providing online access to public services, streamlining administrative processes, and implementing paperless transactions. The goal is to create a seamless and efficient experience for residents and businesses when interacting with the government.

Data-Driven Decision Making: Dubai's Smart City strategy emphasizes the collection and analysis of data to inform decision-making and improve city management. This includes using sensors and IoT devices to gather data on traffic flow, energy consumption, and environmental conditions. By analyzing this data, the city can optimize resource allocation, improve infrastructure planning, and enhance public safety.

Technological Innovation: Dubai is actively promoting the development and adoption of cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and cloud computing. This includes supporting research and development initiatives, fostering partnerships with technology companies, and creating a regulatory environment that encourages innovation.

Sustainability: A key focus of the strategy is to create a sustainable and environmentally friendly city. This includes initiatives to promote energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and encourage the use of renewable energy sources. Dubai is also investing in green infrastructure, such as parks and green spaces, to improve the quality of life for residents.

Citizen Engagement: The Smart City strategy emphasizes the importance of citizen engagement and participation. This includes creating platforms for residents to provide feedback, share ideas, and contribute to the development of the city. The goal is to create a sense of community ownership and ensure that the Smart City initiatives align with the needs and aspirations of the people.

Key Initiatives and Achievements

Happiness Meter: Dubai has implemented a "Happiness Meter" to gauge citizen satisfaction with public services and city initiatives. This real-time feedback system helps the government identify areas for improvement and prioritize projects that enhance the well-being of residents.

Paperless Strategy: Dubai has launched a "Paperless Strategy" aimed at eliminating paper transactions in government offices. This initiative has significantly reduced paper consumption, streamlined administrative processes, and improved efficiency.

Blockchain Strategy: Dubai is exploring the use of blockchain technology to enhance security, transparency, and efficiency in various sectors, including government services, logistics, and healthcare.

AI Lab: Dubai has established an AI Lab to develop and deploy artificial intelligence solutions for city management. This includes initiatives such as using AI to optimize traffic flow, improve public safety, and enhance the efficiency of government services.

Impact and Future Outlook

Dubai's Smart City strategy has already made significant progress in transforming the city into a technologically advanced and sustainable urban center. The initiatives have improved the efficiency of government services, enhanced the quality of life for residents, and attracted investment and innovation.

In the future, Dubai aims to further leverage technology to create a city that is not only smart but also resilient, inclusive, and human-centered. The focus will be on using technology to address challenges such as climate change, social inequality, and economic diversification. By continuing to invest in innovation and prioritize the needs of its citizens, Dubai is poised to become a global model for smart city development.
