How can soft skills elevate your IT career?

Working in an ever blooming IT industry is now the great Indian dream. If you are pursuing a career in computer applications, you have chosen one of the most interesting and flourishing fields. But where there is opportunity, there is competition.

Interestingly over 50% of India’s population is under the age of 25 and as stated by?qs.com, almost 140 million people will be pursuing higher education by the year 2030. This means that the competition in the IT sector will also increase and only tech skills will not be enough to cut it.

What will keep you ahead of the competition?

It is evident from the current trends that subject matter expertise, which in our case is technical knowledge, is best supplemented by soft skills. LinkedIn’s top soft skill list clearly states that employers are constantly looking for candidates that are proficient in problem solving, critical thinking, innovation and creativity. Top IT firms love to hire employees who have the ability to deal with complex and uncertain scenarios.

Therefore, if you are looking to climb up the ladder and stay ahead of competition, you need to ensure that you are equipped with these critical communication skills.

How do these skills boost your performance?

Soft skills not only keep you ahead of the competition, they also enhance your productivity. If your time management skills are impeccable, then your ability to multitask will grow by leaps and bounds. Strong communication and leadership skills are crucial for effective collaboration and creating synergies across teams and departments.
