QUALITIES OF ICT PROFESSIONAL

The personal qualities and general characteristics necessary for an ICT professional to work effectively within the industry are quite different to their technical ability .
A technical skill is learn specifically to do a particular job/task. A computer programmer has had to learn how to program using for example C++; that is his technical skill. A personal skill is that which the person already has and can use whatever job they do.
For example this programmer may have excellent written communication skills and can read instructions and act upon them, and write brilliant reports which detail and explain everything. This skill is transferable to any other job that requires a person to follow instructions and to write clear detailed reports.

Example of some personal skills are:

Leadership,
Team working,
Flexibility,
Communication,

Problem solving,

Work under pressure.

For each profession as listed above there will be a list of technical skills needed, and a list of non-technical person skills needed.
HOW WELL DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT YOU ARE EXPOSED TO?
