There is no denying the fact that social
skills
 are crucial to success in life.
While
 it is a commonly held belief that social
skills
 are crucial as much as academic
qualifications
, there is
also
 an argument that opposes it. In my opinion, I consider social
skills
 to be one of the most important aspects to have in any job interview.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
