Study Soft Skills to Win at Work

2010-01-13T08:23:00.000-08:00

At MyComputerCareer.com, our focus is on helping students acquire the technical skills required to fill the well-paying jobs that are continually emerging in this rapidly growing and changing industry. But success in any field of endeavor hinges on more than just the technical ability to get the job done.

Soft skills like the ability to communicate effectively in writing and in person, the social skills to simply get along and collaborate with others, and the organizationl skills to manage the clock and calendar can have an enormous impact on your ability to rise to the top, with or without stellar technical capabilities and credentials.

So don't underestimate the importance of these critical skills and seek continually to upgrade them. Fortunately, most soft-skills can be acquired and developed without a huge investment in formal education. Libraries and bookstores are packed to the rafters with self-help books on everything from grammer to grooming. Websites, study groups, seminars and other resources abound to help you develop your apptitudes in listening, speaking, leading, relaxing, reading, writing, managing and more. And it doesn't take a huge investment of time in cover-to-cover reading and copious note-taking to glean highly valuable pearls that can exponentially elevate your employability and promotability. Here's one quick example.

View or download this 6-page digest of powerful principles of influence extracted from Dale Carnegie's timless tome, "How to Win Friends and Influence People." Download the PDF and make it your own. Then, spend and hour googling information on one of the soft-skills you seem to lack. You'll be glad you did. Career Success!

"I looked into several different schools but I ended up with MyComputerCareer.com because I figured out that [they] had the most to offer me. They offered me more one-on-one. They offered me pretty much anything that I needed to get my foot in the door into this career."

"My decision to come to MyComputerCareer.com was the best decision I’ve made in 10 years. Everyone here has helped me: the instructors, the students, the job placement, everyone. No one here has ever turned a deaf ear. If you have any problems, any questions, everyone here is a team. They all work together. They’re all here for one purpose and one purpose only: that’s to make sure that you can get everything you can out of these classes. They’ve satisfied me 100%."

"Don’t come in thinking, “they’re just going to… run me through.” It’s not like that at all. They teach you what you need to know to help you out there. I came here to have someone give me that first step, to get me into this field that I’m very interested in. With MyComputerCareer.com they gave it to me and they stand behind me 100%. I know 100% that a year from now, if I have a question, I can still come back to MyComputerCareer.com and they’re still going to be able to help me. They’re going to assist me."
