People nowadays put more emphasis on social skills. Some people believe that social skills are more important in addition to good qualification for job success. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
As human beings, we are sociable creatures that have developed many ways to communicate our messages, thoughts and feelings with others. In today's society where the job market is so competitive, in addition to good qualifications, social skills also play a key role more than ever before.
Undoubtedly, academic qualifications are required in many professions. For example, it is impossible to be a surgeon or a scientist without having relevant degrees or qualifications. However, social skills are strongly required so that they can effectively perform their duties.
Nowadays, where the job market is becoming increasingly competitive and sometimes there are hundreds of applicants for a single position in a company and any employer wants the best person. Hence, only those that have both good communication skills as well as required qualifications will win this competition.
Furthermore, there are several personally and professionally distinct advantages of having interpersonal skills. For instance, by developing this art of communication, one can maintain healthy relationships with friends and his family. Even in one's professional life, effective relationship with one's managers, clients or colleagues can help a person to enhance the possibility of advancement and promotions in his career ladder.
To put into nutshell, I pen down saying that I totally agree that social skills are really important along with university qualifications to survive in this highly competitive world. They are not only important for one's professional life but also helpful for his personal life.
