The price of a barrel of Brent from the North Sea for delivery in March gained 0.61%, to close at $80.04.

A barrel of American West Texas Intermediate (WTI) of the same maturity gained 0.96%, to $75.09.

Prices were hesitant at the start of the session, before the publication of the weekly report from the US Energy Information Agency (EIA) gave them a clear direction.

Commercial stocks fell by 9.2 million barrels during the week ended January 19, much more than the 1.4 million that analysts predicted, according to a consensus established by the Bloomberg agency.

This significant drain on black gold reserves is mainly due to the drop in production, the victim of a winter storm which swept across a good part of the United States.

In total, the disruptions deprived the American market of one million barrels per day during the week in question, or seven million over the week.

Added to this is the drop in imports (-25%), which reduced the quantities available for refineries, whose utilization rate fell to 85.5%, compared to 92.6% the previous week.

For Robert Yawger, of Mizuho, ​​if the disruptions had been anticipated by the operators, “we did not expect that so many barrels would go missing”, the analyst having, for his part, counted on the only half.

Beyond the American episode, “it seems that there is a little more trepidation” in the market, “a little more upward momentum”, argues Eli Rubin, of EBW Analytics Group, following several weeks of back and forth within a limited range.

Even if the deterioration of the situation in the Middle East has not, for the moment, reduced oil deliveries, Citi analysts estimate that the bypass of the Red Sea by a number of tankers increases volumes at sea by 35 million barrels.

“It gives a boost” to prices, according to Eli Rubin, who also mentions the attack on a Russian oil depot by Ukraine on Friday to justify the hardening of the market.

The analyst expects to see WTI move out of the corridor between 70 and 75 dollars and move towards 80 “in the coming weeks”. before withdrawing, for lack of sufficient support, unless the Middle East experiences a major development.

Felipe Cuadra, CXO and cofounder at Rankmi explained that this is because “there are executives who have technical knowledge and cognitive skills, but poor people management to work in environments with more relationships.”

“Acquiring a good level of communication is not acquired in a couple of months, it is something that takes more time and effort. For reasons of making it profitable and improving the return on investment, priority will be given to bringing in people who have soft skills and do not have much technical knowledge because that is something that can be quickly acquired. Not the skills,” adds Daniel Galdós, commercial manager of Manpower Group.

How are soft skills recognized in a job interview?

It is easy to validate technical knowledge, but not soft skills. Therefore, the recruiter must evaluate the applicant in different ways, to ensure that the skills he claims to have are real.

Felipe Cuadra advises that, before looking for new talent, you define well what you are looking for in the company because “everyone has some soft skills, but not all of them are relevant to the position.”

Subsequently, it must be confirmed that the applicant does have the required job skills. Víctor Mendoza, CEO of Innova Hunting Group, mentions that this is possible when various situations are proposed:

“You should ask how you would react to a situation, what you would do, how you handle frustrations, how you would resolve a crisis. In this way, you can see if you are prepared or handle this activity well on a day-to-day basis.”

Galdós adds that it is important to have several professionals to analyze the applicant’s answers and reach an agreement: “the interviews must have different styles, methodology, actors, to put emphasis on the skills and see if the perspective is the same for “Everyone or they have another approach.”

Soft skills that will stand out in 2024

• Autonomy: change is constant and company training is less; Therefore, it is expected that the professional can learn by himself.
• Emphatic Listening: Many managers or team leaders struggle with this soft skill. They may be good at defining, deciding and analyzing, but it is difficult for them to listen without debating. The option of the rest must be considered when making decisions.
• Frustration tolerance: in the work environment there will always be pressure situations and many people do not know how to manage their emotions.
• Initiative and self-management: we are looking for professionals who carry out activities without needing to be supervised all the time or without waiting for the boss to tell them what they should do.
• Curiosity: many employees have the ability to learn, but to do so, training must be carried out; unlike someone who is curious, since they will be constantly investigating topics that pertain to work.

Companies that belong to the banking, health, customer service and retail sectors are the ones that most request that these soft skills be found in the staff because stressful situations can arise on a daily basis, since they have contact permanent with clients.
