How to develop and/or improve interpersonal and communication skills for a quiet person?




Someone answered my question from yahoo answer that state a quiet persons do not have interpersonal skill and communication skill and employers don’t want them. Is that true?
In other words, extrovert or talkative people have those skills? And extrovert or talkative people will be hired by employers who need these skills?

    Simon Edhouse - how not to negotiate

    It does not matter whether a person is talkative or not. We all communicate and have interpersonal skills, unless we have a disorder like some forms of Autism. So, I would say if you want to boost your skills, practice interview skills. That is when employers are really focused on you. Have a friend or family member practice being the interviewer. By the way these skills are very important, they are the top skills wanted by employers, however as I said above most everyone has skill in these areas, they just have to polish them. Good luck
