Soft skills are intangible skills; skills that set aside a candidate from all the others. Soft-skills training involves a closer look at some of the general traits and disposition of a candidate and fostering those personality traits that would make them successful in the workplace.
Communication • Communication, be it written or verbal is by far the most important soft skill that can help you sail through not just an interview; but life itself. You need to be precise and clear. A good communicator is also a good listener.
Problem solving skill • Being able to overcome hurdles and focus on moving towards a solution is a key trait of a good leader. Conflict resolution, assertion and persuasion are essential for a good team leader.
Self-Motivation • A self- motivated employee usually is a quick learner and requires lesser supervision.
Time Management • Jobs come with demanding deadlines and pressure to perform. You need to assess your tasks and plan your time accordingly.
Confidence • The way a candidate carries himself, talks and deals with questions during an interview gives a fair idea as to his confidence levels. It is a reflection of an individual’s self-worth.
Open minded approach • Being open to new ideas, new thoughts and new ways of doing things is a sign of a good leader.
Body language • A confident stance is reflected in your body language. Shake hands with a firm handshake. You should exude positive self-image and not arrogance.
Humor • A sense of humor can carry you through any situation in life. It can lighten a stressful day and break the ice with new members at work too.
Networking • Being able to get along with a varied set of people is a vital life skill. Your EQ or emotional quotient is the ability to empathize and support your colleagues.
Work life balance • Time management is essential for work-life balance. During a soft-skills course, a trainer can help you list down your tasks, schedule them and multi-task between various demands.
