Nowadays, individuals have to compete in a world where a worker has to possess multiple
skills
 in order to succeed.Some even have divided opinions on which skill is more important, social
skills
 or good
qualifications
.In
this
 essay, I will provide which one I think matters more and discuss both capabilities.
Firstly
, people feel that it is crucial in today’s society, to have good manners and the ability to socially interact with other individuals.
In addition
, being capable of being social with others will give them a higher chance of getting the job they are applying for.
For instance
, a friend of mine did not have great social
skills
, so when he went for a job interview, he was not able to interact with the manager and ended up not receiving that position.
On the other hand
, there are others that believe it is more crucial to have good
qualifications
 when applying for a job.
This
 will
also
 show the person hiring that the worker has the knowledge they are seeking for.
For instance
, a recent study done at Karolinska university has shown that an individual with decent
qualifications
 has a higher opportunity to get hired. It
also
 shows that managers take a larger liking to those individuals that have a range of different
qualifications
. In conclusion, at the current
time
Add a comma
,time
show examples
 there is a silent competition for workers where some likely will get hired
,
Remove the comma

 because they have better knowledge than those who have more capabilities. In saying that, I believe it is more important to have a range of knowledge rather than
skills
. Since it will provide the worker with more independency and reassure the boss that receiving a new task will not be an issue.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
