A dietitian has to have a good balance of technical and soft skills.
                              Getting the message across in a way that help people make
                              changes is a vital skill for dietitians. Employers value individuals
                              with excellent soft skills, because just having the knowledge and
                              technical skill to do the job isn’t enough. You have to be able to
                              function well with others, communicate effectively, work on a team,
                              plan, organize, manage your time, and the list goes on.
