Regarding your current profession.
Both are important as per the situation.
While hard skills may get your foot in the door, soft skills will keep you there. When people talk about being great communicators, or having good time-management skills, they're talking about soft skills -- the "people skills" that candidates mistakenly overlook or undervalue during their job search efforts. Employers want to hire professionals who, yes, have technical skill sets, but they are also looking for candidates who will be a good fit for the team, which means these individuals must be a good fit for the organization personality-wise, too.
following five soft skills to be the most valuable in employees, in order of importance.
1. Ability to work in a team structure
2. Ability to make decisions and solve problems
3. Ability to communicate verbally with people inside and outside an organization
4. Ability to plan, organize, and prioritize work
5. Ability to obtain and process information
Computer Skills: Skills in MS Word, Excel, Access and Email, searching internet for useful information and so on. These are all required for effective communication.
Soft skills: Commitment, Working together, Communication, Drive for result, Leading, deciding, networking, influencing etc.
So, we see that computer skills are part of communication skill. Soft skills is much broader term and communication is part of soft skills
For career, whatever skills you have are important,
however computer skills important because each and every organization has become computerized to copy the advanced of technologies.
in Japan, a person who has no knowledge about Computer is called "illiterate Person".
Thanks for invitation
I am apologies to answer this question because it's not my specialist field, but i think yes its very important
Both skills are important. By soft skills you can develop your career which is computer skills. For example, what if you want to be an IT Director in a company. Without that soft skills you can't be.
Without having COMPUTER SKILLS there is no use of SOFT SKILLS.
Thanks for invitation..................agree with alll
When it comes to my current position I can't imagine a shortage of any of those skills. To be successful in modern world we should constantly improve our skills as there is always something new to learn. In my opinion most jobs require to possess computer and soft skills on a equal level.
Nowadays technology is involved in most of progresses and techniques..It is very rare to find a career that does not involve computer usage...Computer skills are in need!
Thank You
