Soft Skills World

Who we are
The genesis of the softskillsworld lies in the following excerpts from THE HINDU.
Aakanksha waited with bated breath in the lobby for the results of the interview. Was the company reasonably impressed with the skills she had to offer? What would differentiate her from the many others who made similar claims? Would she be able to clinch the deal?
Aakanksha didn't have to wait too long. It was a simple decision for the company, as Aakanksha made the perfect candidate meeting all their requirements.
The seemingly inscrutable veneer of success does have its foundation in arduous beginnings. In the quest for professional excellence, technical know-how or functional knowledge is no longer the only thing that matters. The importance of soft skills cannot be over emphasized in an age where so many premiums are put on interactivity and communication. It thus goes without saying that if you don't have the necessary soft skills to go with your other qualifications; you might not be able to make it up the corporate ladder easily.
Reality bites when nothing else does
The quest for acquiring soft skills should begin early. First and foremost, polishing up your act would require you to realize your lack of the skill. You might assume that you don't need to improve.
Before you commend or absolve yourself of any faults it is better to ask for an honest appraisal from someone who knows you well enough. Even an honest introspection would help.
