It’s early Monday morning. You got up a little earlier to pack your favourite lunch and buy a coffee at your local cafe shop before it gets too packed. Today is a special day because it’s your first day at your new job and you want to make a good impression on the boss. The next thing that might be on your mind is figuring out how to get along with your new coworkers. This is very important because you want people to feel comfortable working with you. Does this scenario sound familiar? Or perhaps, if you have been training to apply for a specific job, you may ask yourself, ‘How can I stand out from the rest of the candidates and be hired first?’.
This free course begins by explaining why soft skills are so crucial in the workplace. If they are used correctly, then you will become someone who is indispensable to your team or organization. This, in turn, may help you to be considered as a prime candidate for a promotion. Throughout this course, you will learn about 11 soft skills that are needed in your career. In any type of organization, at some point you will have to learn how to handle a new program or piece of equipment. This makes patience one of the first and most important skills that every worker needs to develop. The material will consider ways you can demonstrate this ability and stay ahead of others. Next, we will consider a few phrases that are often called a career ‘kiss of death’ and are accompanied by a bad attitude. A successful and efficient employee will counteract this by being positive and applying the tips shown in the easy-to-follow videos found in the material.
We will then analyze our emotional intelligence. You have probably heard that emotional intelligence can beat actual intelligence but what does it involve and how does it apply in the workplace?
