What are soft skills?
These refer to the personality traits, behaviors, and social attitudes that make you a more effective communicator, that enable you to collaborate with others, that help you successfully manage workplace conflict. Unlike “hard” skills, which often describe a person’s technical abilities, soft skills include any skills developed beyond your technical competencies and showcases your ability to work with others and grow within an organization. With the growth of team-oriented jobs, these skills become critical to the modern work environment.
