MY RÉSUMÉ
Soft skills
Everyone's looking for experience. But those who don't have experience should have talent or expertise in a specific area - like interactive graphic design for example.
Employers are also looking for passion and business acumen. What I mean by business acumen is: Does the candidate take notes? Do they converse well with the client? Things like that are invaluable.
There are so many people who have great talent but cannot articulate their ideas. Without those skills, people will just stare at you blankly. You may be the most ingenious person in the world but they won't understand you or buy into your ideas if you can't explain yourself.
