The most in-demand skills that employers crave are the elusive "soft skills"--the intangible but important qualities that enable you to work and interact with the people around you effectively.

Having great soft skills can be a huge game-changer as you go through your career and life. It can be the difference between getting people to believe in you or being forgotten, the difference between advancing a project or having it rejected, the difference between getting a promotion or finding yourself in yet another disappointing lateral move. These skills teach you not just to be a better employee but a stellar human being as well.
