Good morning folks, hope you have a wonderful night? Previously I have been telling the story of my friend how he made himself indispensable in the corporate world. How he changes job as if he knows all the MDs of all these major corporations and nevertheless he knew his family members and God. There is one thing that stood him out among the crowd that is knowledge. Someone once said knowledge is one thing that you will invest in and you will never regret it. If you have been missing the story you can visit our blog kingstrainingsystem. or our facebook page kingstrainingsystem to follow it.
Do you know that most graduates remain unemployed not because they lack mental aptitude but they lack mental attitude towards getting job. People complain there is no job, do you realized some people change job intermittently, what is the different between those that are unemployed and those that change job like sachet water? Not because they are so much intelligent than others but they are acquainted with employer psychology, they know what the employer want. They know what to tell the interviewers that would make them irrefutable during the interview. They make themselves desirable not available, they are human capital not a human resources.
Like I said earlier knowledge cannot be overemphasized in the school of job acquisition. What you don’t know will hurt you, you will pay for what you don’t know but you will be paid for what you know. I am saying this because of one terrible experience I had sometimes ago due to the lack of knowledge. I went for an interview and I messed up myself in the presence of some young ladies and guys that was the interviewer. Barely, a year after my NYSC, I was called for an interview in a growing company, we were like twenty in attendance and they were calling us in one after the other.
When it came to my turn, I was called inside, I sat and they were asking me different questions and because I have crammed very well I was flowing, speaking big grammar, with my suit and tie well fitted, tall, handsome and good looking. When it was time to receive this big blow, the youngest among them which I believe I will be older than or been in the same age bracket asked me this opprobrious question. What kind of soft skills do you have that will make you effective and productive in our organization? I said to myself this is a very simple question.
I will stop here today to avoid bulkiness, don’t worry I will continue tomorrow and I will give you my beautiful answer to their question and some other things you need to do acquire your dream job.
Have a glorious day and see you at the top. Kings Training System

With small witch

Hello, good morning, how was your night? Hope you slept well? Yesterday I was talking about how I was berated due to lack of knowledge. There is one thing I know and I am very sure of, if you bring 100 fresh graduate in a room and asked them this question, I am cork sure 90 of them will flaunt it. You may ask how do I know this, I have trained over 500 people on soft skills at different platforms and at the beginning of my presentation; I always asked the meaning of soft skill. I have not gotten up to 30 responses which is less than 10%, so when I am talking I know what I am saying.
When I started training people on soft skills, I pacified myself for the mistake I made in the past, realizing that I am not the only victim in this area. If you want to confirm this, you can ask people around you the same question and you will hear their response like a baby trying to learn how to talk. I never heard anything like that throughout my days in university or maybe I heard it and I didn’t put cognizance to it, I am not sure.
So during the interview as the lady asked me the question, my mind when straight to computer software, I was talking like parrot, pouring out words like a tap that lose control. The fact that I did a computer programme prior to that time, I was pouring out. One thing I noticed, the lady was asking, ‘’are you sure of what you are saying’’ and as she was asking, she was looking at the face of other interviewers and they were smiling. The funniest thing was that I was answering with poise like a man that is wooing a lady, so pathetic!
I never realized the gravity of what I did, because they said they would get back to me and I walked majestically out of the room but till today, I never got any response from them. It was after two years that I attended a seminar in university of Lagos and one of the speakers was telling us about soft skills. I almost cried that day, then I realized my blunders, how I turned myself to puppeteer performing at the front of those ladies. That is why I said yesterday that you will pay for what you don’t know but you will be paid for what you know. Today I am been paid for soft skills because after the seminar I made up my mind that I will learn anything I can learn about soft skills and I will let others be aware of it too.
The fact that you don’t know or heard of soft skills does not mean you are not intelligent, I answered all the questions very well except the soft skills and the risible of it was that, the lady saw it in my CV that was she asked me. It is your mental attitude toward job and not your mental aptitude that will get you the job. It is not only about graduating with good grade but are you acquainted with corporate world practice? Life in school is different from life outside the school. Most of the things being thought in school are irrelevant in the corporate world. For you to get your dream job you must equip yourself with corporate world terminologies, skills, knowledge and requirements, they are key and inevitable.
From tomorrow I will start sharing with you some of the skills and knowledge needed to be outstanding in the corporate world, that will make irrefutable and indispensable in the 21st century workplace.
Thank you for your time, hear from me tomorrow, have a great day. KINGS TRAINING SYSTEM.

THE RELEVANCE OF SOFT SKILLS IN THE CORPORATE WORLD

Hello once again, how has your day been? I said yesterday, I will be sharing with you some of the skills needed to be irrefutable and indispensable in the 21st century corporate world. I might not be able to tell you everything now; when you attend our free training you will get to understand some things you need to know. Today I will like to expose you to soft skills. The reason why I love to teach soft skills is because of my experience in the past. And I also realized it is not thought in our schools, therefore majority of our graduates are not acquainted to it.
Soft skill is one of the requirements to become a human capital, I have discussed something in my previous post on human capital, and you can refer to that for better understanding. To become a human capital you need both soft skills and hard skills but for this treatise, I will be dwelling on soft skills. Before I proceed, I want to differentiate between soft skill and hard skill. Soft skills are your personality trait, habit and character that we exhibit as an individual that mark our way of life and how we interrelate with other people in our environment.
They are the emotional intelligence, they are skills which cannot be seen with your naked eye but there impact can be felt. While hard skills are the qualifications required to be successfully at a job, they are teachable and technical skills, example your accounting, computer, mathematics, writing, engineering skill etc. Hard skill may get you the interview but soft skill will get you the job and secure the job for you.
Hard skills will teach you how to count money while soft skills will teach how to make money. Hard skill will give you knowledge while soft skills will give you knowledge and wisdom. You can be successful without hard skills but you can’t be successful without soft skills. Hard skills give paper or academic qualification while soft skills give you real life experiences. Hard skills will make you a job seeker while soft skills will make you job creator.

There are lots of things soft skills will give you and hard skills will never give you. The evolvement of service based companies, increases the relevance of soft skill, most organizations now rated soft skills in their priorities list for their day to day business activities.
Employers are more interested in the employee with relevant soft skills because hard skills such as computer programming or any new technology are easy to learn while soft skills such leadership, attitude and problem solving skill are very difficult to learn because they have been ingrained into the system through perceptions.
The importance of soft skills can never be over emphasized in the 21 century corporate world. That is why as a graduate you can work anywhere, now you see someone study Yoruba education, working in the bank. They are not so much interested in his or her qualifications they interested in his soft skills, his attitude towards their client, how he would be able to communicate effectively with the customer. How he can proffer solution to their problems when they arise. So these are the things that are interested to them not your Yoruba.
We have different kind of soft skills that are peculiar to a particular organization; by tomorrow I will be sharing some of the soft skills that are very common to most of these organizations. Thanks for your time. Have a bless day.
