Soft Skills

You are to complete the interview in person or by phone. At the beginning of the interview, you will explain the P.R.I.C.E. elements to the interviewee and then ask these questions:

  • Have you seen the impact of applying these elements in your career?
  • Which element(s) is/are the most important in your career field?
  • In what situations are these elements the most challenging to utilize?
  • Would you add or subtract from this list of elements if you could?
