It is no secret that employers require specific skills, certifications, and degrees when hiring for open positions. However, applicants and employees often forget that soft skills are just as important! Soft skills are a variety of skills that allow you to interact and work with others. They typically apply to all professions and are necessary to function effectively in any workplace. Soft skills have to be trained and developed just like the hard skills or job-related skills we learn in college courses.
