About the Book

If you agree that there are common service skills all workers need to integrate each day on the job, then Soft Skills in Demand -- for 2020 Career Readiness is the definitive training solution for postsecondary schools, the corporate world and working individuals. The "Skills Gap" is real in today's customer-oriented workplace. While technical or hard skills will differ by job description and industry, there are some universal soft skills that everyone needs to do well in order to succeed in their chosen careers-be they STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) or non-technical occupations. These skills include all aspects of the work setting-completing projects and commitments as promised, showing up to work on time, being kind to others, listening well, and solving problems in a timely, fair and effective manner. Worker behaviors and attitudes that go against thoughtfulness, logic, meeting commitments, and efficiency get in the way of good business. Therefore, when soft skills complement on-the-job technical skills, it gets you noticed, appreciated and promoted! Written on a practical level, this learning book is intentionally designed to be: 1) affordable for students and everyday workers, 2) easy-to-read with an abundance of learning features and examples, and 3) contains less than 100 jam-packed pages. The 18-chapter content areas include customer service, communication, organizational leadership, interpersonal, and self-management soft skills.
