What are interpersonal skills, anyway?

by Susan K. Maciak, Career Consultant, www.cameocareer.com

 What do employers really want to know about you when they ask

about your interpersonal skills? They’re not interested in your social

life. What they wonder is, “Do you get along with other people in work

situations?” In other words, do you:

 

  • Participate as a member of a team?
  • Contribute to group efforts?
  • Teach others new skills?
  • Cheerfully provide customer service for clients/customers?
  • Work hard to meet customers’ expectations?
  • Exercise leadership when needed?
  • Follow others when needed?
  • Communicate ideas to justify your views?
  • Persuade and convince others of good ideas?
  • Negotiate– or work toward agreements?
  • Understand divergent interests among groups of people?
  • Work well with people of diverse cultural backgrounds?
  • Work equally well with both men and women?
  • Respect the viewpoints of other people?
  • Treat everyone equally?
