Better remote working? Soft skills are the answer

Skyline view of Paris with Eiffel Tower in background.

What are soft skills? Why aren’t they included in job descriptions? How can soft skills play into better teamwork and remote communication? How can you manage your new virtual workplace at home and still maintain work-life balance? How do recruiters screen for soft skills? What does the future hold for technical communicators in a more automated, more digital, more technology-filled future?

And what is the most exciting thing going on in the world of content today?

All these questions and more are discussed in this recent Coffee & Content webinar discussion presented by CJ Walker of Firehead together with Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, and Patrick Bosek, co-founder of Jorsek, the makers of easyDITA.
