We spend 18-20 years studying; but

45-50 years of our lives working !

Do you know?

Hence; shouldn’t we develop

skills requiredto succeed in

our lives?

Employers look for

two types of skills

in prospective employees:

1.TechnicalSkills

(marks in case of fresh candidates)

&

1. Honesty,2. Dedication,3. Flexibility,4. Hard working,5. Team Working,6. Leadership Qualities,7. Willing to take initiative,8. Willing to learn& un-learn,9. Technical knowledge; etc. ,etc. 10.Willing for additional responsibilities,

& above all

2. Other skills like

Positive Attitude+

Communication Skills(verbal & non –verbal)

These are two most desirable skills by all

employers!

All these skills except Technical Skills are also called

SOFT SKILLS

or

INTERPERSONAL SKILLS

Where is your emphasis?

Unfortunately for most of us answer is

NEITHER or only

Technical skills building
