Developing soft skills to get and retain a good jobBY: chitracs | Category: Self Improvement | Post Date: 2008-10-18
The education, qualification and experience are necessary for getting a good job and retaining it. Some more skills are required in the competitive world to impress the employer. The employer allocates job to team manager with a condition to finish the work correctly, within a given time. But, the client wants to meet the team leader beforehand. Why? Unless the client gets satisfied that the team possesses the required soft skills, he would not let the job to the team. What is meant by soft skills and how do they help to get and retain a good job? The ability to convey the ideas, to make others to get involved in the work by motivating words and to directly go hand in hand with others to solve the issues are some of the qualities come under soft skills. For planning a work, brilliance is required but for executing it, soft skills are required. The technical skills and the performance skill in a job could please any employer. Since many works are let out now for outsourcing, the client wants to test whether the team possesses soft skills before giving the job to them. The employer has to agree for this arrangement and he also expects these qualities from his employees, in order to get more orders. What are the soft skills? The team spirit is the most required quality. If a brilliant person acts separately in a team, the team could not solve any issue. He should learn to move along with the other team members. Getting technically proficient persons for a job has become easy now. But, if a technically proficient person also possesses the soft skills, his job is assured. The person concerned should know his strengths and weaknesses. He should try to sort out his weak points, like getting anger, be in tensed mood and shouting at others for silly mistakes done. He should change his attitude and learn to react calmly. Next, time management is most important. He should learn to finish the given work within the time frame. He should be ready to accept any criticism. He should not argue or quarrel when others who points out his weak points. He should have presentation skills. He should be polite and courteous while moving with others. He should help the employer to cut the budget and minimize the expenditure. The positive attitude and desire to learn are some of the soft skills. He should take responsibility for the good and bad done. He should not try to escape from the situation when something goes wrong. He should possess the qualities of courtesy, honesty, flexibility and adaptability. He should be punctual and should not waste time while working. He should possess interpersonal and motivational skills. He should always be willing to learn a new work. He should think analytically, critically and laterally. His personal appearance should be neat and good. He should not bother about his work alone. He should take care about the entire business and may give ideas for improvement of business. He should always be available on the work spot until the work is completely finished and he should not get annoyed when the employer or client wants to make some modification during the course of work. He should develop leadership qualities, to come up in life. The team leader should know how to build healthy and effective team, so that everybody in the team could cooperate with each other. He should have emotional maturity and be every ready to share his ideas with others. He should learn to speak a few works in the language of the customer. The technical and non-technical persons should learn to move well with each other and the team leader should create a friendly atmosphere. How to develop soft skills? There are institutes to train the persons for soft skills. In some companies, the employer sends the employees to train them. In some cases, the person concerned attends the training to get a good job and retain it. For the long term success, possessing soft skills could help a lot. So, developing soft skills are essential for life for getting a job and sticking on to it. I wish everybody to possess the soft skills.
