The bronze artefact

The bronze artefact

You are on a vacation to a foreign country. You visit a local market and come across a nice bronze artefact. While you are having a closer look at the artefact, the shopkeeper approaches you and asks you to make an offer.
You are really interested to buy. You think and based on similar artefacts' prices, you say " I will buy this piece for $50 only."
The shopkeeper immediately agrees and starts to pack the item.
How do you feel in this situation?

I might have offered a very high price. I should have tried a lower value say $30

In addition to hard and soft skills, we must also exhibit self-management skills e.g. self-motivation, time management and stress management. Being open minded, flexible, adaptable, experimenting and learning from mistakes are the key differentiator for a person's success.

World Economic Forum lists out the top ten soft skills, which employers look for. These are · - Complex Problem Solving · - Critical Thinking · - Creativity · - People Management · - Coordinating with Others · - Emotional Intelligence · - Judgment and Decision Making · - Service Orientation · - Negotiation · - Cognitive Flexibility

As a prospective employee, it is our job to learn and enhance the soft skills continuously as well as demonstrate relevant skills in our resume and during the interview to increase our success rate in the interview process.
