To be successful, it is said that we need 2 main skills in our life: first is hard skill, the technical ability to perform any specific job, and soft skill, more personality-oriented skills (Investopedia).
Both skill is really important in our life; however, most people give higher values to hard skills and forget to improve their soft skill. A quote of “Peggy Klaus”said that “Soft skills get little respect, but will make or break your career.”
In this article Letsharekh will briefly point out the key important points of soft skill so that you can have an idea to review your soft skill.
What “Soft Skill” really mean? According to techtarget, soft skill can be called “People Skill”, which describes those personal attributes that indicate a high level of emotional intelligence. My simple definition is that soft skill is the personal ability to keep each person live a happy and success life in a society, not in a solo world.
Soft skill can be the communication skill, anger management, stress management, critical thinking, problem-solving skill, and so on. Compared to hard skill, there are a lot of subjects to learn in soft skill because it is the people skill.
Why soft skill is important? First, it helps you to open many doors to success in your career. For instance, you may know how to cook a food, but if you don’t know how to attract the customers, how to behave in order to build trust in your customers and your boss, you won’t be able to success. Second, it helps you success in your personal life. Having a girlfriend or a wife is not really difficult, but if you want to keep your relationship or family life live longer, you need people skill such as problem solving, inter-personal skill, stress management, anger management, and negotiation skills, which can help you deal with conflicts and increase level of happiness.
All in all, soft skill is essential in our life. Let’s spend a minute and think how is your people skill? Where are you now? If you think that your skill is limit, it is the good time to find a course or do online research to build up your people skill. There are a lot of videos in Youtube and website. A final quote is “ hard skills will get you an interview but you need soft skills to get -- and keep -- the job.”
