#8913 Soft skills are personal attributes that enhance one’s interactions, job performance, and career prospects. In many jobs, soft skills are more important than hard skills (which are about a person’s skill set and ability to perform a certain task or activity).
Employees with outstanding soft skills are increasingly being sought out by employers. The good news is that soft skills can be improved upon through study and practice.
This new series of booklets focuses on various soft skills. Each booklet covers a particular soft skill. Readers assess their soft skills and do practice exercises to improve their soft skills – and thus more readily achieve their career goals. The self-assessment gives a snapshot of their strengths and weaknesses. The booklet then provides activities that challenge them to apply these skills.
The booklets include thought-provoking questions that require reflection and honesty which, when applied, will help users identify their own opinions and beliefs relating to a specific aspect of employment success.
