INTERPERSONAL SKILLS

Interpersonal skills are another important subset of your soft skills. These skills pertain to how you relate to others, both inside and outside the company. With your co-workers, teamwork and mentoring skills are valuable. When you're interacting with customers, it's important to demonstrate perceptiveness and empathy, which will help you understand and resolve their issues.

Demonstrating strong listening skills, emotional intelligence, and communication skills will serve you well no matter whom you're working with. Those who are good at networking are a valuable asset to the company as well.

You can demonstrate your interpersonal skills by:

• Building strong, ongoing relationships with clients

• Working collaboratively with your professional network

• Leading seminars or providing effective training

• Maintaining an extensive network of important contacts including vendors, clients, and partners
