Soft Skills

Soft Skills are character traits that
show how well you interact with
other people. They are also known
as people skills.
Soft skills are often harder to iden-
tify than technical skills, and judg-
ing how well someone can do the
skill varies based on the person measuring performance. Think
about it… how do you measure courtesy? Different people have dif-
ferent expectations. We pick up many soft skills as we grow up, and
are influenced by the people around us. Soft skills are often the
hardest skills to learn or improve.
