Soft Skills - Appraisals, Interviewing and Time Mgt. Training

Soft Skills is a catch-all term referring to various behaviours that help people work and socialize well with others. In short, they are the good manners and personality traits needed to get along with others and build positive relationships. Unlike hard skills, which include a person’s technical skill set and ability to perform certain functional tasks, soft skills are broadly applicable across job titles and industries. It’s often said that hard skills will get you an interview but you need soft skills to get and keep the job.
