But they are just as important as technical training. Who would you prefer to work with - a person who does not want or cannot explain the problems he is facing or a person who easily paraphrases complex information?
Today we will look at the 6 basic soft skills that every IT professional should have.
1. Communication skills
Communication skills are very important to IT professionals , even if it sounds a little strange. But if you can communicate effectively, you will be able to convince your managers that you understand the system and the products they offer, and that you can train your own team - things that will help you advance in your career.
2. Teamwork skills
Behind every successful project is a successful team. When working in a team, each member contributes with their skills and knowledge, which erases individual gaps in knowledge and skills. This makes almost anything possible.
3. Presentation skills
Whether you are meeting with the manager of the company you work for or you need to give a presentation to your colleagues, you need to be able to stand in front of a large group of people , speak confidently and present your ideas and position.
4. Making contacts
No matter how good your programming skills are, there will always be something you don't know. In such a situation, you may need to seek advice from a third party. If you already have a network of contacts, this will happen quite easily. A great way for an IT professional to start building a network of contacts is by creating a LinkedIn profile and attending IT conferences .
5. Positive attitude
In their daily duties, IT professionals must help their colleagues. Some of these colleagues are not highly computer literate, and if you make fun of them for not having this knowledge, it will definitely not be to your advantage. Conversely - if your attitude towards all colleagues is positive, you will stand out in the company and people will like you.
6. Innovation and creativity
As an IT professional, you must not only be able to write quality code, but also provide creative solutions to the problems your company faces. You need to come up with an efficient and inexpensive solution that impresses with its creativity.
The soft skills we have listed here, unfortunately, are not taught at school or university. But if you make an effort to master them, you will become an IT specialist whose career will be successful and with whom everyone will want to work.
