What is Soft skills?

Soft skills is a synonym for “individuals skills.” The term labels those personal qualities that indicate a high level of emotional aptitude
Unlike hard skills, which describe a person’s technical skill set and ability to perform specific tasks, soft skills are broadly applicable across job designations and businesses
It’s frequently said that hard skills will get you an interview but you need soft skills to get — and keep — the job

Importance of Soft Skill

Important Soft Skills?

Communication skills :

Communication skills are always top of the ‘necessary skills’ list in any job advertisement
People with strong communication skills can build relationships (from the early building relationship through to a longer-term relationship)
listen well, and vary their communication to suit the conditions

2. Body language :

Face is the catalog of the mind and it clearly displays the persons interest
Body language presents to the audience what we feel & think about the particular matter
Body language (e.g, arms crossed, standing, sitting, relaxed)
Emotion of the sender & receiver (e.g, speaking clearly, enthusiastic)

3. Making Decisions:

Valued by employers for many reasons, being able to make decisions is key to getting on in life.
Sometimes the actual decision doesn’t even matter; what matters is that you have made one and moved on

4. Self Motivation:

People who are self-motivated get on by themselves
They don’t need close direction and they are good to work with because they are generally positive about life and can be calculated upon to keep going
It also helps to work on your personal flexibility and compliance to change.

5. Leadership Skills:

Leadership is a soft skill you can show even if you’re not directly dealing others.
Leadership can be thought of as a collection of various other soft skills, such as a general positive attitude and outlook, the ability to communicate effectively, and an aptitude for both self-motivating and motivating others.

6. Team-Working Skills:

Like leadership, good teamwork involves a combination of other soft skills
Working in a team towards a common goal requires the intuition and interpersonal acumen to know when to be a leader, and when to be a listener
Good team players are perceptive, as well as receptive to the needs and responsibilities of others

7. Creativity and Problem Solving Skills:

Creativity and problem-solving skills are highly valued because they are hard to develop
There are many people who believe that creative thinkers are born, not made, and there are certainly some people who find these skills much easier
But, like other skills, you can develop them if you work to do so and our pages on these topics will give you some ideas about how to do this

8. Time Management and ability to work under Pressure

Many would say that these two skills, which often go hand-in-hand, are more an attitude than a skill
However, they can also be developed and honed, which is why we include them as skills
Highly valued by employers, they are also very useful for organizing a family or a team, and for making sure that the job gets done
