I have listened to several presentations on getting "unstuck in your career" that focus on values and strengths. However, the sites they suggest for determining strengths turn out to be just lists of personality traits - not abilities. Skills are glossed over - almost as an afterthought, but aren't they the most important to employers? Where can I go to find a list of skills that companies will accept as compensation for having no technical ability? Thank you for your time

Are you referring to technical ability as coding or something of that nature? What type of jobs are you hoping/wanting to land?

Yes. Everything seems to require coding now. I'll never make sense of it. Isn't there anything else that companies value anymore? I have to figure out a way to be worth something that I can actually pass.

What type of role are you trying to land? What area of business do you have experience in?

What type of work? I'm not clear on the lack of technical skills? Why technical skils would you be lacking?
