This week I learned what soft skills are required to work in IT. As mentioned in this week's video (what are soft skills) "Soft skills will get you promoted as long as there is consistency". As I learn more skills during this program I can see myself pursuing an education in software coding. My soft skills are in good standing due to developing them through many other jobs I have had prior. I need to work on my hard technical skills in order to get the job I want. While I attend Seattle central I think my teamwork and communication skills will develop more as I have learned that in order to get some assignments done I need to work in groups.
Personally, I think my conflict management skill needs a little improvement. I will work on this by utilizing my present job and using feedback from management to learn how to improve on this skill. I am working on taking some online courses in order to get the entry skills needed to apply for jobs I am interested in. I hope that 5 years from now, I am working in the job I want and also be happy enjoying life with family and close friends. Regardless of where I find myself in 5 years, the path to get there will be a fun experience.
