We are Ibrahim and Naoufal and we’re looking forward to talking with you today about
an important topic which is the soft skills.
Did you know that 60% of managers claim the new graduates do not have the critical thinking and problem-solving
skills that are necessary for the job?
before going into the thick of things, let me present our summary:
Summary
…
Introduction
Hiring managers typically look for job candidates with both specific hard and soft skills.
Hard skills are job-specific skills and knowledge you need to perform a job. But what are soft skills and how do they
differ from hard skills? what is their importance and how does the soft skills attract the headhunters?
and now, I let my colleague Naoufal to define them
THE IMPORTANCE OF soft skills
Companies are looking for personalities with whom they will have fun working.
In a job offer, more than 60 % of the required criteria are "soft skills".
and managers have a strong interest in identifying the "soft skills" of their employees to develop their motivation and
competitiveness.
Even if the exercise of a trade involves technical skills, recruiters will retain a positive moral character better than a
perishable know-how. Indeed, the education of a good wage attitude seems like an insurmountable test in the face of
simple training in the use of software.
As you will understand, soft skills are key indicators to take into account to increase your chances of success in your
interviews. It's up to you!
What are the most sought-after soft skills?
1. Leadership Skills.
Leadership is a soft skill you can show even if you’re not directly managing others. Companies want employees who
can supervise and direct other workers. They want employees who can motivate, encourage, build teams, resolve
conflicts, and help to create the desired culture.
2. Teamwork.
You may prefer to work alone, but it’s important to demonstrate that you understand and appreciate the value of joining
forces and working in partnership with others to accomplish the company’s goals.
3. Communication Skills.
Able communicators can adjust their tone and style according to their audience, comprehend and act efficiently on
instructions, and explain complex issues to colleagues and clients alike.
4. Problem Solving Skills.
The ability to use your knowledge to find answers to pressing problems and formulate workable solutions will
demonstrate that you can handle – and excel in – your job.
5. Flexibility.

Flexibility is an important soft skill, as it demonstrates an ability and a desire to acquire new skills, and an open-
mindedness to new tasks and new challenges.

Employers often seek candidates who can show a willing attitude, since many jobs come with the possibility of climbing.
