Clare Astley has been training UAE students since 2009 in the art of “soft skills” such as communication, networking and delivering presentations. The London-based professional development manager at the Cass Business School of City University London was recently in Dubai to conduct workshops with Executive MBA students. Ms Astley says management graduates must improve such skills to secure that coveted first job.
What are the major skills new graduates here lack when it comes to landing their first job?
The MBA students are experienced and good at analytical skills, but all over the world they fail in interpersonal and communication skills. With MBA students there is an aspiration to become the next chief executive or set up their own business, so the real fundamental skill needed is networking. Because that is the number one way MBA students get their next role, even if you want a progress in your current organisation, or change the direction of the career or location. [This is] so that you can bypass the traditional HR departments, who are looking to hire people with exactly the same set of skills as yours. A lack of these skills is common everywhere. Here, people are a little more aware about it now and there has been a slight improvement but the challenges are the same. There is a fear of networking, and fear of failure, or being put in the spotlight.
What do soft skills include?
These are people skills, including communication, networking, presentation skills, influencing and persuading people and making a personal impact. That is, anything outside the academic world.
Apart from a degree, hard work and talent, how much importance do employers place on soft skills and why?
It is the most important skill, because you have to communicate clearly and persuasively during the job interviews. And then you have to negotiate with the clients.
What can be done to improve these skills or develop them?
Career planning is a three-step process: the first is about taking a step back and doing some self-reflection to give focus, clarity and direction to your story when interviewing for jobs or while networking. The second stage is research and the third implementation. Sign up for networking events, talk to the alumni and talk about an organisation’s current challenges and do your research before applying for a job. A top tip would be to talk to the person whose job you want and see how they got there. Practise, practise, practise.
Which sectors place high importance on soft skills among new graduates?
It’s important across all sectors. But if you are trying to set up your own business it is even more important because you are going to convince people [to like] your idea, and trying to get people to invest in your business, among others. These skills are not sector-specific. It is vital to communicate your message across all sectors.
How can graduates improve their networking skills?
Networking is important everywhere, but across the Gulf it’s the way business is done here. Moreover, it’s a life skill and it’s all about talking to people and building relationships. I think it is not always about knowing new people, it’s also about thinking about people already in your network. Think about your friends, family, lecturers, Facebook friends, football team, anything. It’s not about who you know but who you know and who they know. You have to know the right people and get them to trust you, because if they don’t they won’t introduce you to their network. Every time you meet people, ask for three more names they know who they can introduce you to at the end of your meeting. Moreover, our students typically have five to 15 years of work experience. Build on those relationships. But also put yourself out there.

Mercer, the investment consulting arm of US services company Marsh & McLennan, expects its wealth division to at least double its assets under management (AUM) in the Middle East as wealth in the region continues to grow despite economic headwinds, a company official said.
Mercer Wealth, which globally has $160 billion in AUM, plans to boost its AUM in the region to $2-$3bn in the next 2-3 years from the present $1bn, said Yasir AbuShaban, a Dubai-based principal with Mercer Wealth.
“Within the next two to three years, we are looking at reaching $2 to $3 billion as a conservative estimate and we do see an opportunity to do so,” said Mr AbuShaban.
Mercer does not directly make investments, but allocates clients’ money they have discretion to, to professional asset managers. They also provide advice to clients.
“We have buying power. We can negotiate on their (client’s) behalf with asset managers to provide them lower fees than they otherwise would have to get on their own,” he added.
Mercer Wealth’s clients include sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and insurance companies among others.
From its office in Dubai, Mercer also looks after Africa, India and Turkey, where they also see opportunity for growth.
Wealth creation in Middle East and Africa (MEA) grew 8.5 per cent to $8.1 trillion last year from $7.5tn in 2015, higher than last year’s global average of 6 per cent and the second-highest growth in a region after Asia-Pacific which grew 9.9 per cent, according to consultancy Boston Consulting Group (BCG). In the region, where wealth grew just 1.9 per cent in 2015 compared with 2014, a pickup in oil prices has helped in wealth generation.
BCG is forecasting MEA wealth will rise to $12tn by 2021, growing at an annual average of 8 per cent.
Drivers of wealth generation in the region will be split evenly between new wealth creation and growth of performance of existing assets, according to BCG.
Another general trend in the region is clients’ looking for a comprehensive approach to investing, according to Mr AbuShaban.
“Institutional investors or some of the families are seeing a slowdown in the available capital they have to invest and in that sense they are looking at optimizing the way they manage their portfolios and making sure they are not investing haphazardly and different parts of their investment are working together,” said Mr AbuShaban.
Some clients also have a higher appetite for risk, given the low interest-rate environment that does not provide enough yield for some institutional investors. These clients are keen to invest in illiquid assets, such as private equity and infrastructure.
“What we have seen is a desire for higher returns in what has been a low-return environment specifically in various fixed income or bonds,” he said.
“In this environment, we have seen a de facto increase in the risk that clients are taking in things like illiquid investments, private equity investments, infrastructure and private debt, those kind of investments were higher illiquidity results in incrementally higher returns.”
The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, one of the largest sovereign wealth funds, said in its 2016 report that has gradually increased its exposure in direct private equity and private credit transactions, mainly in Asian markets and especially in China and India. The authority’s private equity department focused on structured equities owing to “their defensive characteristics.”
