I think the most useful superpower is marketing (or rather persuasion.)

It is required whenever you need to interact with another human (which is nearly every day, for any job/career).

And good marketing just boils down to understanding other people: their needs, fears, and desires.

- a resume/job interview is just marketing

- a job posting is just marketing

- marketing will help you understand what skills are in demand (i.e. what to learn/make?)

- asking someone on a date is just marketing

- and of course, marketing is used to sell products and services, too

I think its different type of marketing though. I'm perfectly fine with resume marketing as I'm getting jobs left and right in this climate and needed to reject some offers.

I'm OK with sales too, although I usually ended up persuading the other side not to buy our products, so I ended up giving up a career in stock broking 10 years ago.

On the other hand, I have never been good with dates. It's a completely different set of mindsets and skills IMO.

It is still marketing. The work is in creating the right product that meets a demand, tho. The product being you.

It's too broad to be spoken in one shot IMO.
