So, when presenting your best authentic self in alignment with their ideal candidates, be sure to incorporate both your hard and soft skills. Spend time learning all you can about their people strategy, and what they consider the most important skills. They define core skills as "the abilities and behaviors that demonstrate Workday's core values. Core skills include empathy, creativity, and problem-solving."

They define job skills as "the minimum abilities and behaviors required for a particular job." And, they define unique skills as "the additional abilities and behaviors that go beyond core and job skills and contribute to a person's potential to bring value to a given role or project. For example, unique skills can be the passion, interest, and energy an employee brings to a subject or task, the network they can leverage, or the diverse perspective they bring to their team."

"Well, besides being proficient in the hard and soft skills required for the job, and my demonstrated leadership abilities combined with being a passionate people person, I am empathetic, resourceful, adaptable, and always thinking outside of the box. I am always examining systems and processes, trying to identify methods of streamlining them to make it easier to do the job right rather than taking shortcuts. I habitually praise the strengths of my teammates and encourage them to build upon them, pushing the limits of the only thing holding them back, which is their comfort zone. I have a lot of energy, a great attitude, prioritize fun and play, and have a lot to offer."
