Instead of finding himself in a back office working on hardware as he had imagined and hoped, he was in an entry level role providing customer service. It wasn\u2019t just technical skills that he needed in this role, but interpersonal skills; skills such as active listening and communication. How had he gotten this far, without being aware of such an important part of his chosen field?<\/p><p><strong>Experience is a tough teacher<\/strong><\/p><p>Jason did eventually develop these hidden requirements for success in IT, but he learned the hard way. Lacking these skills cost him a position early in his career. Immediately after this disappointment, while searching for his next opportunity, Jason took time to reflect and re-evaluate. He was confident in his technical skills, but he realized that in his past role he had failed to take time to get to know the people around him. He did not demonstrate communication skills, and could not honestly say that he had been a strong team member. <br \/>In hindsight, it became clear to Jason that his job is as much (if not more) spending time with people communicating the outcomes of work he does on IT systems, as it is spending time on computers doing that work. What\u2019s more, he recognized that the time he spends communicating the work he does requires him to have what are often called \u201csoft skills\u201d: communication, active listening, conflict management. Skills he didn\u2019t know he needed. Once he identified this gap in his professional skill set, Jason dedicated time to learn and grow in these areas. Jason became more self-aware and recognized that getting to know people \u2013 to learn their goals and approaches \u2013 is crucial to being able to communicated with them well and accomplish goals together in a work context. <br \/><br \/><strong>The payoff<\/strong><\/p><p>At his next opportunity, Jason applied his new understanding and skills, and within 6 months he was promoted to team lead. Soon after, he was head hunted for a role in another company. His technical skills, when combined with interpersonal skills, set his career in the IT industry on an upwards path.<\/p><p><strong>The way<\/strong><\/p><p>No one was there to tell Jason about the importance of soft skills, to tell him what to expect, or explain to him why everyone begins with an entry-level role in customer service. In fact, he had no mentor for the first 5 years of his career. And while he had managers who would occasionally offer advice, Jason gained these key insights from his own experience, by reflecting on his own setbacks. Jason recognizes that he is not alone in being unaware of the importance of soft skills when entering the IT field; it isn\u2019t something that is talked about in Information and Communication Technology programs. Since he is aware of this gap, Jason hosts prot\u00e9g\u00e9s from the MentorAbility program so that he can share with them what he had wished someone had told him earlier: working in IT isn\u2019t just about the hardware and software, it\u2019s about the people too.<\/p><p><strong>Filling the gaps<\/strong><\/p><p>Are you someone who is working in a field with these gaps of awareness?
