The ValueSoft skills that are required of IT jobs are often similar to the needs of other IT jobs. Communication, team work, critical thinking, listening, adaptability, and problem solving are soft skills that are useful in any job but particularly helpful in IT jobs.I also was able to learn how to research the jobs I picked more efficiently as the project progressed over time.In any job you are seeking, the better prepared you are with knowing how to use programs and the more soft skills you have the better you will be off getting, obtaining, and succeeding at the job. I didnt enjoy doing the voiceover but I much prefer doing a voiceover instead of presenting to a classroom. I havent had to do many voiceovers on PowerPoint though so it was good experience.
