Yesterday, I was talking to a junior who is currently giving interviews. Here are 3 soft skills that I shared to calibrate yourself and keep a track:
-
Confidence
0 = Nervous while talking to someone. Fumbles a bit.
1 = Some confidence while talking to people. Can talk about topics interesting to you.
2 = Have the confidence to introduce themselves and drive a conversation. -
Smile
0 = You have a poker face while talking to someone.
1 = You force a smile sometimes in between conversations.
2 = Your smile is contagious and causes the other person to smile. -
Energy
0 = You drain energy from people.
1 = You put in conscious effort to seem interested in the conversation.
2 = People want to talk to you more.
What’s your current score?
