职场必备的软技能有哪些？

 1. Honesty.

1. 实事求是。

Communicate things as they are. There's really no point playing around with words. People see through it sooner or later and it leads to losing credibility.

与他人沟通的时候就该实事求是，不必想着玩弄文字游戏。因为人们迟早都会看穿其中的蹊跷，从而导致信用缺失。

2. Clear communication.

2.表达清晰。

Honesty is one thing but if you can't communicate your intent clearly, it's not really very useful. It's a skill to be able to communicate clearly your thoughts.

人际交往过程其一就是诚实，但如果你无法清晰地表达自己的意图，也会使最终效果大打折扣。能够清晰表达自己的意图也是一种技能。

3. Listen.

3.懂得倾听。

Listen for what the other person wants in the conversation and what drives them. That will allow you to find where you can align¹ with them and work together towards a common goal if there is one. If there isn't, be honest and clear about it and leave it at that.

交谈过程用心聆听他人的真实所需以及他们的内在驱动力。这样能让你找到人际交往的突破口，并且若双方有一个共同目标就能一起携手前进。如果没有共同的目标，那也不要隐瞒，就让它这样吧。

4. Be available.

4. 花点时间帮助他人。

All of us are super busy people and have tons of things going on. However, being available to other people takes lesser² time than most of us think. Be available, listen and communicate. You'll build relationships and credibility that will last long.

我们都非常忙碌，常常有一大堆事情要完成。然而，若能抽点时间帮助他人实际上所花的时间比我们想象的要少。腾出点时间，聆听与沟通。这样你就能建立起良好的合作关系与信用度，让你能从长久的日子中得益。

5. Last but not the least - Integrity.

5.最后一点同样重要——言行一致。

Honor your word, stick to your values and deliver on what your promised. If you are unable to deliver on what you promised, communicate in an honest manner. People respect those who honor themselves and others.

说话算话，坚持自己的价值标准并履行自己的承诺。如果你无法履行自己承诺的事情，那就以真诚的态度表达你的情况。人们都会尊重那些能对自己和他人负责的人。

How can I polish my soft skills?

如何润色我的软技能？

1.Identify your goal:

1. 明确目标：

Doing this initial goal setting will help define timelines, methods, and resources to turn to on your journey.

首先把目标明确下来就能帮助你设定时限，方法以及各种有助你开始培养软技能的资源。

2.Do a baseline assessment³:

2. 基线评估：

Figure out where you stand now with respect to the soft skill you want to pick up.

找到自己目前关于你希望培养的软技能的立足点。

3.Begin research:

3. 开始调查研究：

See what is out there to help you achieve your goal. If you are looking to make yourself more "marketable", read up on what skills are most in demand in a particular industry.

看看手头上有哪些资料能帮助你达成目标。如果你希望让自己更具“市场价值”，那就仔细研究当前特定行业最需要的某种技能。

4.Practice, practice, practice:

4. 练习，练习，再练习：

For interviews, you can do mock interviews with your peers, or if you know someone senior in the industry who is willing to help you out.

就参与面试而言，你可以与朋友们进行模拟面试，或者请某位在该行业更资深的朋友助你一臂之力。

For skills like speaking more confidently in public, join a club or look for opportunities at work or school to speak in front of a large group.

对于诸如自信地进行公开演说的技能，那就参与一个与演说相关的俱乐部或找一些能在学校或规模较大的组织演说机会。

Skills like problem solving and working in a team can be practised and honed at your work place.

而诸如解决问题与团队合作的技能就能通过职场中的锻炼和打磨。

In addition to these steps, finding a group of people who are working on the same skills, or a mentor⁴ who believes in you, can be a great help as well. The great thing about picking up a soft skill is, the journey is one of continuous learning, and you yourself begin to figure out along the way what works best for you.

除了以上这些步骤，你也可能寻找一些与你相似的人群，或者信任你的导师，都能为你提供很大的帮助。养成一项软技能的好处在于，这是一个不断学习的旅程，你很快就会在途中发现最适合自己的是什么了。

Wish you all the best! :)

祝你好运！
