Paper Title
Communication Skills the Most Crucial Soft-Skills for Employability

Abstract
Soft-Skills are the intangibles that are required to get a job. Soft-skills are a combination of interpersonal people skills, social skills, communication skills, character traits, attitudes, career attributes, and emotional intelligence quotient among others that enable people to effectively navigate their environment, work well with others, perform well, and achieve their goals with complementing hard skills. Though it is very difficult to find out which particular soft-skill is the most important, yet it can be said with authority that Communication skills top the list. Effective communication skills are very critical in acquiring good jobs especially in the corporate sector. A Candidate may have a lot of knowledge, may be a perfect leader, may be able to manage time and stress very well, may be emotionally very stable, but all these abilities can’t be put across unless he/she is also good at communicating. Communication skills are the basis of transferring the messages to the other person. And if one is weak at this, he/she might not be able to even demonstrate other capabilities. As such communication has got nothing to do with any particular language. It is only a medium to share information and messages, but the fact is that in the Indian context today, when we talk about communication skills, we have to consider English language as the basis. The companies these days look for two major aspects while hiring; communication skills and positive attitude. Further, positive attitude too is displayed, most of time, through communication. Communication plays a vital role in the process of selection in every field. The efficient speakers often get through the selection process relatively in a easier way. Communication skills always are the fundamental requirements of a person. Good communication skills do not come naturally, these are to acquired through rigorous practice and extensive exposure. The efficient communication skills often determine the stature of a professional in the world of competition. Keywords - Communication Skills, Soft-Skills, Placement, Employability, language
