Soft Skills in IT – Don’t Underestimate Them

In IT, technical expertise is essential. But when it comes to securing a job or growing in your role, soft skills often make the difference.

Why are soft skills important?
Soft skills are interpersonal and communication skills that determine how you interact with others. Think of collaboration, adaptability, problem-solving, or emotional intelligence. In team environments – especially in agile structures – these skills are indispensable.

What are key soft skills in IT?

  • Communication: Explaining complex topics clearly and listening actively.

  • Teamwork: Collaborating effectively with colleagues and stakeholders.

  • Adaptability: Keeping up with change – in technology, tools, or teams.

  • Problem-solving: Looking beyond symptoms to find structural solutions.

  • Critical thinking: Making informed decisions and asking the right questions.

Can you develop soft skills?
Absolutely. Through training, feedback, and conscious practice, you can strengthen these competencies. At iStorm, we also help you reflect on and present your soft skills during the application process.
