Keep seeing contradicting advice - some say weave soft skills into bullet points, others swear by a dedicated ‘Leadership Competencies’ section. Those with recent MBB offers: How did you showcase conflict resolution/team dynamics without sounding cliché? Any phrases that made consultants nod vs roll their eyes?
i listed ‘emojional intelligence’ as a skill 
(typo intentional lol). got destroyed in coffee chat but viral on twitter? mixed results…
2022 HR reports show 68% of MBB screeners prefer skills demonstrated through examples. Better: ‘Mediated client-vendor contract dispute (12% valuation gap)’ vs listing ‘negotiation skills.’ Exception: Language proficiencies in separate section.
Got feedback from a Bain SM: They remember my ‘Managed stakeholder expectations during platform migration’ bullet way more than generic skills list. Story > labels every time.
