找工作的時候，什么專業最熱門呢？有人說是金融，有人說是法律，還有人說是外語。其實，用人單位除了考慮專業背景外，更加看重的是你的“口袋技能”。
Pocket skills are skills that are needed in all workplaces, such as thinking skill and communications skill, no matter what industry you are in. For instance, thinking skill may help you quickly get the main idea of a report, point out the drawbacks and offer your advice for improvement; and when there is a disagreement or conflict, your communications skill may enable you to deal with it。
所謂“口袋技能”(pocket skill)，就是無論身處哪一行業，哪些崗位，都能隨時拿出來用的技能。例如思維能力，給你看一份報告，你能否簡練地概括其內容，指出存在的缺陷，提出改進意見。又如溝通能力，當別人不同意你的做法時，或者雙方觀點發生沖突時，該如何應付。
When hiring, many companies are more concerned about pocket skills such as teamwork than specific majors, except for research and development positions。
目前在許多用人單位，除了研發類崗位之外，許多崗位并不強求人才的專業對口，而更看重團隊合作等“口袋技能”。
