Your people skills are important. Your technical skills do matter. Even your ability to tolerate your boss can help you advance. But what can make you really stand out from the crowd is how you operate under stress. The reason for this is that those other skills are trainable. People skills can be acquired through workshops and seminars. Technical skills can be learned at on-site or off-site classes. And your boss will keep firing people until he or she finds the one who is most tolerant.ARTArticleWhat Every New and Expectant Mom Needs to KnowWhat every new Mom needs to knowr Seven ancient secrets to restoring happiness and vitality after childbirth: Childbirth — a turning point in a woman's life.
