10 Skills You Didn

And Now, the Soft Skills
So, technical skills aside, here are the soft skills that will make you an IT rock star.
Communication
As an IT pro, you'll need to be able to communicate well with your supervisors and colleagues to help them solve technology issues and better harness the power of their tech tools. If you're a developer or work in IT security, you'll need to work well on teams and communicate your ideas well with coworkers. Almost every IT job requires good communication skills, both verbal and written – email communication will likely be a big part of your job. Technology is not a solitary field, despite how it's often portrayed. If you enjoy teaching people about technology and explaining technical subjects in terms anyone can understand, a career in IT could be for you. CIO Magazine, for example, recognizes the need for strong communication skills in the IT space. In a recent article by the magazine, CompTIA's James Stanger stated that soft skills are one of the seven hot career trends in the future.
Organization
Being organized makes you more efficient and productive at work. Many IT careers are dynamic, giving you the opportunity to jump around to several different projects and tasks. Multitasking can be an important skill – but only if you can properly organize yourself. The ability to keep track of things such as your schedule and daily tasks is essential and so, too, is being able to chunk and prioritize your daily responsibilities efficiently. If organization and time management come easily to you, your role in the technology sector might also.
Analytical Abilities
Being analytical gives you a major edge in IT, where you're expected to find logical solutions to problems frequently. Analytical abilities allow you to diagnose technology issues and fix them. They enable you to do things like figure out why a line of code isn't yielding a desired result or why a server's down. If you have an analytical mind, you might even identify problems before they arise, or maybe you feel compelled to take things apart to get a better idea of how they work. If this is the case, you're probably an IT pro in the making. Examples of analytical abilities include the ability to create – and read – pivot tables in a spreadsheet, identify trends over time and identify key performance indicators. It's also important to learn how to identify critical events and eliminate outliers from data sets.
Creativity
Creativity may not be a stated requirement for all IT jobs, but it's a useful talent in many of them. If tech moguls like Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs hadn't been creative, they would have never come up with their groundbreaking products and revolutionary ideas. Even if you don't aspire to be the next Bill Gates, your tech job will probably require you to come up with ideas to improve processes or products or to help coworkers find innovative solutions to their tech problems. Infact,one of the major requirements in today's IT jobs is the ability to use technology creatively to fulfill a particular business need or create a solution that helps the company move forward.
