sorry guys - as an american mba my wife says things that are normal to me are foreign to others so here is what i mean by soft skills. My program will be training on how to present these in an interview and link it all back to your application essays.
Can you guys help me know if it is valuable to just develop notes for the program or would training sessions maybe web based doing mock interviews would be more beneficial?

soft skills are personal attributes that enhance an individual's interactions, job performance and career prospects. Unlike hard skills, which tend to be specific to a certain type of task or activity, soft skills are broadly applicable. Soft skills are sometimes broken down into personal attributes, such as:
and interpersonal abilities, such as:
- optimism
- common sense
- responsibility
- a sense of humor
- integrity
- time-management
- motivation.
it's often said that hard skills will get you an interview but you need soft skills to get (and keep) the job.
- empathy
- leadership
- communication
- good manners
- sociability
- the ability to teach.
i agree with this statement.
