❗❗❗ Myths about soft skills: Unconscious bias in hiring calls for effective soft skills assessment.  

πŸ’₯There is almost complete unanimity among hiring professionals that soft skills are crucial to building a company’s success.The problem is that there is a lack of formal assessment for soft skills and this can hinder the process of hiring the right candidates like you. 

#MYTH 1: Assessing soft skills informally is better than not assessing at all 
πŸ‘‰ Due to a lack of formal assessment skills, candidates are evaluated by picking up on the social cues exhibited during interviews.
❌The problem here is that the impression formed during interviews is not an accurate depiction of their skills. Some may not be aware but their judgement can be affected by first impression bias and this renders the informal assessment imprecise.

#MYTH 2: Soft skills are universally understood
πŸ‘‰Hiring managers and recruiters may understand a particular soft skill differently. What a hiring manager asks for may not be what recruiters plan to find.
❌This boils down to a lack of exact definitions of soft skills. This can lead to confusion when hiring. 

Want to build a portfolio of soft skills so that you can showcase to your employers upfront and eliminate these informal assessments of soft skills?

5 Tips On Networking Remotely❗❗

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, face-to-face conference and meet-up for career opportunities seem impossible. Let's take a look at how you can build on your network virtually.

βœ… Understand that networking is a two-way interaction
Networking is not a one-way interaction where you try to seek help from others or gain benefits from others. Awareness of how you can benefit the other party will be crucial for cultivating relationships.
πŸ‘‰Tip: Ask others how you can help them before asking for help.

βœ… Be clear of your purpose of networking
Ask yourself what you would like to take away from the networking session, whether is it about a company, an industry, a technology, an interest, or a hobby?
πŸ‘‰ Tip: Especially when there is a limited access to facial expressions and other nonverbal cues, it is extremely important to understand your goals as the other party may not sense what you want to know.

βœ… Research, research and research
Find out the leaders in that area after determining your purpose of networking. Determine who you already know in that area and who might they be able to introduce you to.
πŸ‘‰Tip; Linkedin and your personal contact are useful resources that you can touch on.

βœ… Do not be too direct when looking for an opportunity
During your job hunting, do not jump straight to asking your contact for a job as most will uncomfortable.
πŸ‘‰Tip; Instead of asking β€œAre you hiring for XYZ opportunity?β€βœ–
Try this instead: β€œWould you be willing to share some ideas or names of people I can reach out to help me secure XYZ opportunity?” βœ”

βœ… Maintain and do not neglect your connections.
As virtual connections limit relationship-building opportunities and length of interaction, it is paramount to be proactive in catching up with your connections.
πŸ‘‰Tip: There are no hard and fast rules as to how many times you should interact with your connections but be aware of when your connections are available to minimise frustration.

What are some of the questions that recruiters ask to test your #softskills?

πŸ‘‰Q: Can you tell us about a time you took initiative on a project? (Related soft skill: #leadership)
βœ…Purpose: The interviewer is looking for a candidate who goes above and beyond, who has a #growthmindset and is good at solving problems. This question tells the interviewer whether you're do-er or an achiever.

πŸ‘‰Q: How do you approach a task that you’ve never done before? (Related soft skills: #adaptability & #willingnesstolearn)
βœ…Purpose: The interviewer is looking for a candidate who will do research and figure out a new task independently. In a fast-paced office, there’s not always time to teach employees new skills.

πŸ‘‰Q: Describe a time when you faced conflict and how you addressed it. (Related soft skill: #communication)
βœ…Purpose: The interviewer is looking for a candidate who can handle conflict and works under pressure. The answer a candidate gives will often reveal their ability to communicate in a way that is focused on problem-solving.

How to improve your EQ with the SMS-ES framework?
βœ… Self-Evaluation: Identify your weaknesses and be honest with yourself
βœ… Motivation: Stay open to challenges and negative feedback
βœ… Self-Regulation: Examine how you react under stressful situations
βœ… Empathy: Put yourselves in other’s shoes and be more open and accepting of their needs and perspectives
βœ… Social Skills: Maintaining relationship and helping others to develop their potential

πŸ‘‰Communication and Leadership are some important soft skills to improve EQ. At Skilio, we strongly advocate the development of these soft skills to prepare yourselves to be more future-ready.

The information age where we make use of facts and data to solve our problems and make progress has long been over. Moving to the conceptual age, it is not about how much you know but how you can find meaning beyond the facts and make a difference to the world.

To thrive in the conceptual age, #softskills are extremely crucial. Here are some examples:
βœ…Creativity- The ability to redefine facts and data in a way for others to understand and cope with it
βœ…Empathy- The ability to put yourself in other’s position such as by taking into account the feedback of others
βœ… Logic & Analysis- The ability to synthesise data and facts to solve problems.

In general, #softskills are essential to succeed in the conceptual age. At Skilio, we strongly advocate the development of #softskills through constant reflection and feedback from peers and mentors.
