For entry level positions, which hard/soft skills do you think are the most important?

Persistence and willingness to learn

I prefer deliver hard skills and focuse on soft ones. Learning hunger is my favourite.

Learn to excel at schmoozing the people you work with!

Be flexible and coachable

computer, maths, fast thinker, reliable, customer service, friendly, hands on.

Organization, neatness, and up beat.

Control of ego. Eagerness to learn. Determination to learn.

Basic knowledge of their particular job. Basic knowledge of general every day activities.

Quick learning, lightning fast. Ability to research to understand the position, its tasks, and the company. Listening, you'll be learning a lot so need your thinking cap and ears on at all times. Soft: Motivation is key because entry-level is bottom and people must stay positive and motivated to do well and rise higher. Bonding (professionally) with manager to understand what is needed better than they would if they never spoke to manager, or were apprehensive of them. It's all new, in order to learn you must feel comfortable enough to do it and ask questions.

Detail oriented Organized Creativity

Common sense and good judgement are key

Knowledge of basic key job functions. Ability to communicate clearly. Willingness to learn!

Good communication and people skills, knowledge of the company you're working for and also getting along with your coworkers

desire or hunger to work, attitude

ability to learn on your own and work with little direction.

New jobs bring new challenges. Willingness to reach out to others for help is a key to ramping up fast.

Energy, drive, willingness to learn, accept what we know and don’t, boldness and self respect

If it's a entry level position I mean technically your new to this sort of work. What skills are you suppose to have at entry level?

I think hard skills depend highly on the job description. Soft skills should include good communication, coachability, discipline, flexibility, teamwork, and time management.

Customer Service (internal and external), Office skills, honesty and integrity.

Ability to have a mindset that they are capable of moving up and takin on larger roles in the company

Training and the ability to find answers on your own from the database.

The ability to follow directions and do what you are told are good starting skills. College grads do not know everything and they should be willing to learn. Humility is a rare trait that is to be treasured.

Teachable, A drive to do more than what is expected

Team player, ability to work well with others, time management, multi-tasking, excellent computer skills

hard skills, are those that come out of normal living - computer software pakckages(varied) and softskill, are the ability to listen and leanr(not necessarily in that order).

Common sense, respect, good work ethic and reliability
