Question: Some employers believe that job applicants’ social skills are more important than their academic qualifications. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

(IELTS Academic – 27/05/2023)

ANSWER (8.0+):

Some recruiters believe that soft skills should be prioritized over academic certificates during the recruitment process. While I admit that soft skills can contribute to improved cooperation, I mostly disagree with this notion as these qualifications are evidence of desired qualities and background knowledge at the workplace.

The foremost reason for my argument is that certificates are an official proof of the candidate’s dedication and efforts. Attaining a qualification requires students to demonstrate their commitment by attending a series of lectures, submitting assignments, and ultimately passing challenging exams. These accomplishments act as a testament to a graduate’s hard work and unwavering commitment which are also key factors that can guarantee their prospect of success at work.

Additional support for my view is qualifications can prove that the candidates have an adequate academic background for the job. This foundation enables them to further develop necessary skills and expertise required to excel in their roles. For example, after years of studying in medical schools, doctors are well-equipped with a good comprehension of the human body and its reaction to medication, which enables them to later effectively diagnose various health issues and prescribe appropriate treatments for patients at hospitals.

However, I concede that it is essential to acknowledge that employees can make tangible contributions to a company’s development with their interpersonal skills. In a company setting, people must work in collaboration to get their tasks done. Social skills play a vital role in ensuring communication among employees, allowing them to discuss issues at work to leverage the company’s resources efficiently and effectively for the sake of task completion.

In conclusion, although social competencies can enhance collaboration between workers, I somewhat believe academic degrees are of greater importance as they represent job applicants’ personal qualities and strong foundation for in-depth development at work. It is advisable that recruiters should offer more generous benefit packages to attract candidates with excellent academic performance.
