"If you were an ice cream flavor, which one would you be, and why?"

This may be your idea of a nightmare interview question — and yes, employers really use it.

Your answer won't reveal anything about your ability to, say, use Microsoft Excel or drive a forklift truck. But it may tell your potential boss something about your "soft skills."

It's been said that hard skills will get you an interview, but soft skills will get you a job.

Hard skills are things you might learn at university, like how to write computer code or speak French.

Soft skills are the things you might not be able to prove with a qualification, but that will help you succeed in the workplace.

These could include being good at things like problem-solving, time management, and communicating with others or understanding how they feel — even being a good listener.

Employers say soft skills are more important than ever as the world adapts to remote and hybrid working patterns, because being able to communicate clearly and adapt to new situations is even more vital to success.

Some have called soft skills innate. But can we learn them or at least improve them?

"Yes," says jobs website Indeed.

It says the keys are to communicate regularly with the people on your team, be open to feedback, and pay attention to the way others overcome challenges including how they interact with people to do so.

Indeed also says it's important to simply get to work on time. This will help with time management, and also helps you achieve your goals and stand out from your colleagues.

Amanda Vickers, CEO of training company Speak First, told The Guardian that it's also important to try to understand what other people's needs and motives might be. This will help you adapt and work successfully with different people.

So, which ice cream flavor are you?

Well, the flavor isn't important but your answer could demonstrate soft skills such as creativity, quick thinking and even self-awareness.

Just don't choose vanilla.

こんにちは～！マルハバ！サウジの日本語の先生、佳子です＾＾
みなさんー！お元気ですか？私は元気ですよ～！今日は先日行った息子のいとこの誕生日パーティーについてお話ししたいと思います。

先週末、息子より2ヶ月早く生まれたいとこDちゃんの6歳の誕生日パーティーに行ってきました～！同い年ということもあって、息子はDちゃんと遊ぶのが大好き。なので今回のパーティーもとても楽しみにしていました。場所は、クッキングやダンス、ミュージックなど放課後の習い事や一般の子供向けの小さなプレイグラウンドを提供している施設で行われました。青を基調とし、とてもおしゃれできれいで居心地がいい空間でした。
そしてパーティーのテーマはプリンセス！ほとんどの女の子たちがプリンセスのドレスを着てやってきました。メイクもしていてほんとうにかわいかったですね。
今回のパーティーにはDちゃんのいとこ13人、DちゃんやDちゃんの妹のクラスメートなど10人、こども合計25人が参加しました。大人は女性オンリーです。こういうパーティーはほぼ確実に女性だけです。Dちゃんは夫のお兄さんの子供なので、奥さん側の姉妹のみなさんも来ていました。お兄さんの奥さんは7人兄弟の下から2番目なので、Dちゃんにはたくさんのいとこがいます。たくさん遊び相手がいてDちゃんはラッキーですね。
プレイグラウンドで自由に遊びつつも、途中ピエロが登場して一緒にゲームをしたり、フェイスアートをすることもできました。息子はピエロもフェイスアートにも興味がなかったので、終始プレイグラウンドで遊んでいました。
終盤にお待ちかねのケーキタイム。みんなでケーキを食べたり、一緒に写真を撮りました。
帰りに、小さなおもちゃが入ったバッグとスナックボックスをもらいました。他の国ではわからないですが、サウジの誕生日パーティーではこれがお決まりです。
素敵な空間で美味しいものも食べれて私も息子も大いに楽しみました！来年のパーティーも楽しみです。

それではまた！マア　アッサラーマ！
