Where does everyone come down on including soft skills on their resume? Right now I have things like good communicator, fast learner, self-motivated, critical thinker, team player, etc. Are these helpful?

Demonstrate those skills in the examples you list for each job/role/title don’t list them out separately.

They are as helpful as putting Microsoft word as a technical skill.

Everyone thinks they are experts in Word until you ask them to create a macro-enabled template with quick parts

Words are cheap, Rather than simply listing generic soft skills, the most effective approach is to demonstrate these qualities through specific accomplishments and results. Recruiters and hiring managers generally prefer evidence of your skills rather than just seeing them listed.

ChatGPT can help explain this better than anyone online.

They're not needed, unless they're unique. Everyone claims to have great communication and critical thinking skills

Interviewing soon with EY for a senior role (TD FSO). I originally applied for their core practice but the recruiter convinced me that since I’m coming from a financial services audit background, I’d be better suited for their FSO practice. Assuming I get the job, would exit opportunities be worse if I am in FSO instead of the core group? Thanks!
