The difference between landing a job offer or a rejection can come down to how well you adjust to a fast-paced environment and interact with your colleagues.
Communication is the top skill companies are hiring for right now, while adaptability is a soft skill that's "increasingly in demand" across a wide range of industries, according to new research from LinkedIn.
Employers want to hire people who can quickly adapt to these ongoing changes, says LinkedIn vice president Aneesh Raman.
"Adaptability is the best way to have agency right now," he notes in the report.
"At its core, communication is essential for connecting, inspiring, building trust and getting work done effectively," she adds.
