"People Skills" is a term commonly used in interviewing and relates to those softer skills a person needs or might desire in order to effectively work with people, manage people or perhaps even just to work as part of a team. The term covers many aspects, too many to list and detail here, but the most common are:
- The ability to relate to people, often on their own terms.
- The ability to influence/motivate people.
- The ability to develop people (on the softer skills is typically more valuable!)
- The ability to resolve conflict amongst people.

As I said above there are many other areas, but fundamentally "People Skills" suggests that you are good with people as well as any other technical abilities you may have.

I hope this helps!
