The skill section of the resume is gaining importance, but what goes there and how does one develop them?  This talk discusses the skills that become part of one's development outside of Chemistry and Chemical Information, and resources available to develop them.  They include communication skills, written and oral, problem solving, time management, negotiation, setting priorities, working effectively on teams, the iterative process with clients, collaborating with peers, continuous learning, and fiscal responsibilities.  The overlap of traditional learning and these soft skills has shifted the hiring criteria and value one brings as a potential employee.
