We spend 18-20 years studying; but
45-50 years of our lives working !
Do you know?
Hence; shouldn’t we develop
skills requiredto succeed in
our lives?
Employers look for
two types of skills
in prospective employees:
1.TechnicalSkills
(marks in case of fresh candidates)
&
1. Honesty,2. Dedication,3. Flexibility,4. Hard working,5. Team Working,6. Leadership Qualities,7. Willing to take initiative,8. Willing to learn& un-learn,9. Technical knowledge; etc. ,etc. 10.Willing for additional responsibilities,
& above all
2. Other skills like
Positive Attitude+
Communication Skills(verbal & non –verbal)
These are two most desirable skills by all
employers!
All these skills except Technical Skills are also called
SOFT SKILLS
or
INTERPERSONAL SKILLS
Where is your emphasis?
Soft Skill Building/Technical Skills
BuildingOr
Neither?
Unfortunately for most of us answer is
NEITHER or only
Technical skills building
It is so because of our mistaken view that
Technical Skills Or
Good Academic Performance
determinesour success in job/life!
Technical Skillsvs.
Soft Skills
Which contribute more
