Soft Skills
Soft skills are those character traits, interpersonal skills and social habits that characterize a person’s relationships with other people, and they are critical for personal and professional success. Many of today’s employers emphasize that soft skills are just as important — if not more — as academic preparation and job-specific skills and training.
