Summary/Abstract: The article reviews the topic of soft skills in Translation Studies, to compare it with the research regarding this issue in other disciplines. An analysis of the competences required by the work market with the tools “borrowed” from Social Sciences helps to demonstrate the discrepancies between the proposals of T.S. regarding translator’s skills and the theories offered by other branches of knowledge, and, perhaps more importantly, the opinions about the desired qualifications professed by the potential employers.
