Free advice: Hard skills get you hired; soft skills get you fired…
New here? You may want to visit my welcome page. Thanks for visiting!
Last fall, when I was briefly contemplating graduating this spring and pursuing an accelerated 1-year MBA, I had the wonderful chance to call up a few older and wiser people I know and get their advice. While the advice was a rather resounding no (for good reasons), I also received some wonderful advice about education, the job market, and life in general.
Thanks so much you guys–Jason, Dave, Andy, Ilhyung, and others…
One of the succinct little nuggets was:
“Hard skills get you hired; soft skills (or lack thereof) get you fired.”
This is an excellent observation; the tricky part is determining how this should affect my actions–especially as I pick my classes.
