    requirement.
    92% of talent professionals believe soft skills are as important or even
    more important than hard skills. This is based on a global talent survey
    conducted by LinkedIn in 2019.
    What kind of interviews are these?
    Soft skills interviews. Soft skills, also called people skills, are the mix of social and interpersonal skills, character traits,
    and professional attitudes that all jobs require.

    Some of the skills measured in the interview are:


    ● Motivation
    ● Growth and improvement
    ● Prioritization
    ● Team work
    ● Problem solving
    ● Adaptability
    ● Self-leadership
    ● Grit

    Before you begin the interview, you will have a view of what an ideal submission looks like.

    Here are some materials to help you prepare:


    ● How to prepare for a behavioural/soft skills interview
    ● Tips to Help You Sell Your Soft Skills During an Interview
    Interview Type
    One-way video interview

    ✓ Conducted via Harver. This is an interview format

    where we have pre-recorded questions which

    you listen to and answer by making a recording

    on the same tool and submitting.

    ✓ You will get to decide on the day and time to do

    the interview, within the dates that will be

    provided.
    Meeting your
    diagnostic
    requirement.
    How much do you already know about the track you are pursuing?
    What is a diagnostic test?
    These are assessments done at the start of a course to understand how much learners already know about a
    topic or course.

    How to get started on your diagnostic test

    1. You need to confirm your specialization during confirmation week in January.


    You will get the opportunity to switch programmes if you wish. This means that you can choose one of the
    available Tech Plus courses:
    ● Software Engineering Plus
    ● Salesforce Administrator
    ● AWS Cloud Computing
    ● Data Analytics

    2. Once you confirm your specialization, you will receive an email to get started on your diagnostic test,
    which will be specific to the specialization you choose.

    Tips to prepare:
    ● For specialization choice, take time to reflect on the specialization you want to pursue, because you only
    get one opportunity to switch.
    ● For the diagnostic, do some research on the tools and possible roles in that career.
    Communication
    ✓ December:

    ○ You will receive an invite to a prep session, where we will take you through how to

    successfully complete your interview.

    ○ After that, you will receive a second email to get started on your interview.

    ✓ January:

    ○ You will receive an email that will give you the chance to switch specialization.

    ○ After that, you will get a second email to get started on your diagnostic test.

    ✓ February:

    ○ After completion of the foundations course, the interview and diagnostic, you will receive

    your decision on advancing to your tech specialization.
