Money in Jar
A group needs to estimate the value of coins in a glass jar. All the jars contain $10 plus or minus few cents. Estimators are asked to estimate the value of coins and all estimates need to be approved by an approver.
Estimators are rewarded for high estimates. Approvers are also rewarded as percentage of estimator's estimated amount.
Now the estimators are divided in 2 groups - they differ in only aspect i.e. high estimation change is either abrupt or slow.
How likely is the approver going to reject the estimate in Abrupt or Slow group?

Demonstrate the soft skills in your resume
In addition to hard and soft skills, we must also exhibit self-management skills e.g. self-motivation, time management and stress management. Being open minded, flexible, adaptable, experimenting and learning from mistakes are the key differentiator for a person's success.
World Economic Forum lists out the top ten soft skills, which employers look for. These are · - Complex Problem Solving · - Critical Thinking · - Creativity · - People Management · - Coordinating with Others · - Emotional Intelligence · - Judgment and Decision Making · - Service Orientation · - Negotiation · - Cognitive Flexibility
As a prospective employee, it is our job to learn and enhance the soft skills continuously as well as demonstrate relevant skills in our resume and during the interview to increase our success rate in the interview process.
