Soft Skills Make the Employee

Mostly it comes down to the resume and the interview. If your "soft skills" can't be ascertained from those two, there isn't much else a potential employee can do. Leadership qualities and ability to get along with others can be determined from the resume and fortified at the interview. One other thing not mentioned but could be a factor is, salary. Some employers just look for the most cost effective employee regardless of skills. Sometimes this is the company you would want to go with. Once on the job, you have a better chance of proving your worth.

The soft skills are to be given a criteria and to be induced into the self appraisal, performance evaluation and feed back systems of annual / semi annual performance report of employees.

For self estimation of one- acceptance by others, clarity of communication and smoothness of on going works and group involvement are indicators of one's soft skills.

The position one opts for and the level of responsibility one is assigned states the leadership abilities of persons.

Apart from that as RONESTO had suggested, should be diligently put forwarding one's resume and confirmed at the time of professional interview.

A single indicator on a person's soft skills is the based on real EFFECTIVENESS OF SELF AND GROUP PERFORMANCE that one is connected to.

It can be verified on a confidential basis about the person with his associates in an indirect manner and many companies pre check this for the decision making process.
