BiafranBushBoy:
Nice tips. But I believe these hard ones can get you a job faster. It boils down to your willingness to learn and develop yourself in it.

nice.

Though you can't measure soft skills the way you can hard skills, that doesn’t make them any less important. Some examples of soft skills include creativity, analytical thinking, multitasking, verbal and written communications, time management and leadership.

You'll likely see these "soft skills" popping up in job descriptions, next to demands for technical qualifications. Employment experts agree that tech skills may get you an interview, but these soft skills will get you the job—and help you keep it:

Communication skills
This doesn't mean you have to be a brilliant orator or writer. It does mean you have to express yourself well, whether it's writing a coherent memo, persuading others with a presentation or just being able to calmly explain to a team member what you need.

Teamwork and collaboration
Employers want employees who play well with others—who can effectively work as part of a team. "That means sometimes being a leader, sometimes being a good follower, monitoring the progress, meeting deadlines and working with others across the organization to achieve a common goal.''

Adaptability
This is especially important for more-seasoned professionals to demonstrate, to counter the (often erroneous) opinion that older workers are too set in their ways. To succeed in most organizations, you need to have a passion for learning and the ability to continue to grow and stretch your skills to adapt to the changing needs of the organization. On your resume, on your cover letter and in your interview, explain the ways you've continued to learn and grow throughout your career.

Problem solving
Be prepared for the "how did you solve a problem?" interview question with several examples. Think of specific examples where you solved a tough business problem or participated in the solution. Be able to explain what you did, how you approached the problem, how you involved others and what the outcome was—in real, measurable results.

Critical observation
It's not enough to be able to collect data and manipulate it. You must also be able to analyze and interpret it. What story does the data tell? What questions are raised? Are there different ways to interpret the data? "Instead of handing your boss a spreadsheet, give them a business summary and highlight the key areas for attention, and suggest possible next steps."

Conflict resolution
The ability to persuade, negotiate and resolve conflicts is crucial if you plan to move up. You need to have the skill to develop mutually beneficial relationships in the organization so you can influence and persuade people. You need to be able to negotiate win-win solutions to serve the best interests of the company and the individuals involved.

When it comes to soft skills, show—don't tell

How do you prove you're proficient at, say, critical observation? Demonstrating these soft skills may be more difficult than listing concrete accomplishments like $2 million in sales or a professional certification. But it is possible to persuade hiring managers that you have what they need.

To demonstrate communication skills, for example, start with the obvious. Make sure there are no typos in your resume or cover letter. Beyond that, enhance your communication credibility by writing an accomplishment statement on your resume or cover letter, "Instead of stating, 'great oral and written communication skills,' say, 'conducted presentation for C-level executives that persuaded them to open a new line of business that became profitable within eight months.'"

Learn soft skills

The good news is that, like any skill, soft skills can be learned. The better news? Boosting your soft skills not only gives you a leg up on a new job or a promotion, but these skills also have obvious applications in all areas of a person's life, both professional and personal.

How to start a business from scratch https://www.lekkihost.com/forum/index.php?topic=518.0

Starting a business -- or even getting involved as a professional -- when you’re young can be intimidating. You might have knowledge about business from school, books or practical advice from sources online, but there’s a big difference between understanding business fundamentals on paper and gaining wisdom through actual experience.
By the end of your career, you’ll have accumulated a wealth of knowledge and hundreds of lessons, but there are some lessons that you should learn early on -- ideally before you turn 30.
These lessons are some of the most important to learn while you’re still young enough to make use of them:

1. The right people are worth everything.

It’s almost impossible to build a successful business by yourself. Even if you’re a solo entrepreneur, there will be mentors, partners, vendors and peers alongside you helping you achieve your long-term vision. So, recognize how valuable other people will open you up to more opportunities, help you keep an eye out for new contacts no matter where you are and make you more discerning in decisions like hiring and long-term deals.
Learning this lesson early will prevent you from wasting time on the wrong people and give you more time to work with the best people you find.

2. You’re going to fail -- and that’s okay.

No matter how much you know or how much you prepare, failure is going to be inevitable for you. Your business may become successful overall, but there will be individual strategies and campaigns that crash and burn, and ideas that fizzle out entirely. Facing failure with the realization that it is, in some contexts, unavoidable, makes it. easier to accept.
You can view it as a lesson and an opportunity to improve, rather than an end point or a sign that you should give up entirely.

3. Time is your most valuable resource.

The adage that “time is money” is an apt metaphor to describe the power that time can hold when budgeted and used as a resource. This works in a few different dimensions. For example, the sooner you start something, the more time you will have to generate benefits for yourself, and the more time you’ll have to work with that project.

Additionally, you only have so many hours in the day, and how you spend them has a direct impact on how much value you’re able to produce. The sooner you learn this lesson, the more time you’ll save.

4. Communication can prevent or fix almost any problem.

The power of communication can’t be underestimated. Communicating proactively can prevent the development of almost any problem-- by explaining things clearly, setting firm expectations and mitigating misunderstandings. Communicating well can also help you resolve any problem, whether it’s making an apology, coming up with a mutually agreeable solution or explaining circumstances.

5. Perfection is the enemy of progress.

Because of the fast-paced business environment we live in, waiting to move forward with a new initiative because it’s not quite perfect can mean the failure of that initiative. Agile, flexible, adaptive businesses that demonstrate an understanding that things can be tested and optimized while they’re already producing a return on investment are the ones that succeed.
You’re never going to get it perfect on the first try. But be sure to balance your initiative’s “readiness” with agility and speed.

6. All ideas must be rooted in practicality.

No matter how good or original or appealing your idea is, it’s only as valuable as it is practical. For example, if you have a vision for an amazing video, but you don’t have the resources to produce it in an efficient way, you have to drop the idea.
The same can be said of any business idea; you may have a revolutionary new concept for an enterprise, but if there’s no way to make it feasible or profitable, you won’t be able to move to any form of execution. Sometimes, the best ideas have to be tabled due to a lack of practicality.

7. There is always more you can be doing to keep learning.

No matter how much you know, or how much you think you know, there’s always more information to learn. You’ll always have room to be a better leader and a better entrepreneur, and there will always be new skills and abilities to acquire. Maintaining a course of constant improvement will keep you at your best for as long as possible.

The earlier you learn these business lessons, the more time you’ll have to use them in a practical environment, and the fewer repercussions you’ll face in neglecting them (whether intentionally or unintentionally). You’ll never be perfect, so don’t worry if you make mistakes or forget things you would have benefited from.
There’s also a difference between reading about lessons in an online article and actually experiencing them firsthand -- so be prepared to do your best learning as you go through these challenges.

Every great business started with drive and a passion.It is hard when you have ideas and you don't know what steps to take to bring those ideas to reality.here are few steps to help you start your business.

Have 110% clarity around your vision, purpose and core values.
Get a clear picture of where you want to go and why.Not from a product viewpoint though. Think bigger picture. What is the higher purpose for your company? What does your company (or you as the founder) believe? Why do you believe what you believe?
Big vision, core values and higher purpose are the foundations from which great entrepreneurs build great companies. Think differently with a bigger purpose and vision.You have to trust and believe in your vision.

Do a realistic assessment
Start by doing an assessments on your capabilities, strengths, gifts, experiences, life goals, passions and area of weakness. Knowing thyself is the first place to start on your trek toward your vision.Not only do you need to lay out what you’re good at, You also need to spell out your weakness as well.
Next, you need to assess the resources available to you. Stuff like people, money, connections and know-how. Figure out what you have and what you don’t have access to. No man can build an island by himself with nary a resource in sight.
Finally, assess the world you want to play in. Your target market, the competition, and any other outside influence that will affect your ability to reach your vision. Especially important is getting a grip on your target customer. Know what you target customers want and fill in the void by providing solution.All this assessment adds up to a whole bunch of research, engagement and learning.Asking questions of yourself. Asking questions of your target market. Asking questions of the world.

Strategic thinking and value innovation
Basically, think big picture -- where creativity, insight and wisdom play a huge role.The cool thing here is you already know where you want to go (Step 1), and you’ve figured out where you are (Step 2). Now you just need to build some ways (strategy) to get from A to B. start figuring out how to solve the needs/wants of your customer in a unique and profitable way.
Now, creating strategy and value innovation for your business is a whole book unto itself. Literally. There are many types of process and methodologies behind strategic thinking and planning. But in essence, it comes down to this: "You know where you are; you know where you want to go; you now just have to list all the ways to get from point A to point B. Once you’ve done this, you then need to narrow it down to which way (or ways) give you the best chance of getting there".

Execution
Once you have gone through the first 3 steps, execution is easier because you know what important tactics you must work on.A lot of people have ideas -- but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today.put those ideas and strategies you outlined into work. Don't just sit and wait for for something to happen.Make your strategies work. The true entrepreneur is a doer -- not a dreamer.

If you have clarity on your vision and purpose, and fully understand where you are now (assessment), and go through the strategic thinking process on how to best reach your vision, then you'll know what steps to execute.And always remember this:"Execution of a grand vision and purpose comes in taking the little steps".

So there you have it. Four incredibly simple, but far from easy, steps you can take to build a forever strong company from scratch.

Each step is critical, and each step works best when done in order. And the good news? You can start this today. Doesn’t matter where you are as an entrepreneur. Even if your company is several years old, you can still go through this process.
