Communication skills ranked as the most or second-most desired baseline skill in all industries. Organizational skills and writing abilities were also in high demand across the board and came in second and third among the most commonly requested skills by employers overall.

More than 80 percent of responding employers said they look for evidence of leadership skills on the candidate’s resume, and nearly as many seek out indications that the candidate is able to work in a team…Employers also cited written communication skills, problem-solving skills, verbal communication skills, and a strong work ethic as important candidate attributes.

"Even with stellar qualifications and an impressive work history, a job applicant may not be a good fit for the company if he lacks good communication skills. The ability to articulate ideas, persuade others and create rapport is crucial to maintaining smooth workplace relationships."
