What are some important soft skills you want to be sure to try to develop? Consider this list and make a point to pay attention to where you rank with these key soft skills:
No one wants to work with someone who isn鈥檛 a good listener. If you can鈥檛 follow instructions, it doesn鈥檛 matter how brilliant or talented you may be; you鈥檙e going to mess something up. How can you show you鈥檙e a good listener? Follow directions carefully when you apply for the job. Practice listening actively when you talk to people. Could you repeat most of the details of a conversation you just finished? If not, try to focus more carefully on your everyday interactions and you could improve this important skill.
No one loves change, especially at work, but today, being flexible and having a good attitude while welcoming the unexpected is a valuable skill. Are you the first to complain if plans change? Do you sulk and brood when things don鈥檛 go your way? If that鈥檚 you, think about how you can be a little less rigid. It will make you a more marketable job seeker.
It鈥檚 hard to find a job description that doesn鈥檛 mention working with a team and collaborating cross functionally. It might as well say, 鈥淢ust play well with others.鈥� You can practice being a team player by actually joining a team outside of work. Consider joining a sports team or volunteer to work for a nonprofit organization on a joint project to practice and improve your teamwork skills.
You can鈥檛 teach someone to have good judgment. This is why using social media sites to illustrate you know what to say and what not to say online can work in your favor. This is tough to self-assess, but if you鈥檝e ever posted something on Facebook and lived to regret it, you could probably use some extra practice on the good judgment front. Think before you act, and you鈥檒l be on your way to improving in this area.
Your reputation is everything when it comes to getting a job. What do people say about you? Are you willing to work until the job is done? Do you pitch in and show initiative, even when it鈥檚 not necessarily your job? If so, you probably don鈥檛 need to worry about your reputation because you have a strong work ethic. If that doesn鈥檛 describe you, think about how you can change.
Probably the root of all soft skills, if you can communicate well, you are halfway there to many jobs. Employers evaluate this from the start. How do you handle yourself on the phone? What does your application look like? Can you send a strong e-mail message? The interviewer will know right away if you can communicate well by how you introduce yourself and how you address questions. You can practice by preparing what you will say in the interview. Think about ways you can communicate succinctly, because this is an important skill, even for people seeking highly technical jobs.
The younger generation is often criticized for lacking the classic American work ethic. But Indiana teenager Jhaqueil Reagan has proven that the national rite of pulling oneself up by the bootstraps is not dead. Neither are happy endings. The 18-year-old hiked through an ice storm for 10 miles to interview for a minimum wage position with Dairy Queen Inc., and a local restaurateur was so impressed that he hired Reagan for double the state minimum wage, which would make his salary $14.50 an hour.
Reagan鈥檚 dedication came to light Friday while he was trudging through a winter storm outside Indianapolis for the Dairy Queen job. On the way, he asked a man for directions. The man turned out to be Art Bouvier, the owner of a local restaurant, Papa Roux Cajun Cooking. When Bouvier learned of Reagan鈥檚 10-mile journey, he asked the 18-year-old, 鈥淗ow come you鈥檙e not on the bus?鈥� Reagan answered: 鈥淚 can鈥檛 afford the bus until I get a job,鈥� Bouvier told Indianapolis TV station Fox59.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 the kind of story your parents used to tell, my parents used to tell, up both ways in the snow,鈥� he told Fox59. So Bouvier decided to follow up with Reagan. In a post on Facebook, Bouvier recounted how Reagan never asked for any money for the bus. He then decided to get in his car and follow Reagan, before finally catching up with him 15 minutes later. (Since being posted on Friday [before this story appeared], Bouvier鈥檚 post has gotten more than 15,000 鈥淟ikes.鈥� This is what we need more of in this country.鈥�)
After picking up Reagan, Bouvier dropped the teen off at his interview. But before he let him go, Bouvier told him that whatever Dairy Queen offers, he鈥檇 double it for him to start working with Papa Roux, according to the conservative news site TheBlaze. After his interview, Reagan soon found out that the Dairy Queen decided to fill the position with another candidate. But Bouvier told Reagan that he鈥檇 have a job waiting for him at Papa Roux on Monday.
In speaking to the TV station, Reagan talked about how he needed the break. After his mother died two years ago, he was forced to stay at home to take care of his siblings. He was only able to earn a high school diploma through GED. Speaking Friday after hearing about this new job, Reagan said his 鈥渉eart鈥檚 racing鈥鈥檓 just too excited, just excited to start.鈥�
