    Employers seek a mix of hard skills, which are technical abilities specific to an industry, and soft skills, which are personality traits like communication, problem-solving, and leadership. Hard skills are teachable through education and experience, while soft skills are more difficult to develop. Soft skills can enhance hard skills, for example communication helping catch errors. Job seekers should highlight both their hard and soft skills to appear well-rounded.

    HARD SKILLS VS.

    SOFT SKILLS

    Employers are looking to hire employees who


    have the right mix of two different types of skills:
    Soft skills and hard skills.

    HARD SKILLS are abilities specific to


    the job and/or industry. Generally, these
    are more technical skills you learn in
    school, certification programs, training
    materials or experience on the job.
    Hard skills might include proficiency in
    things like:
     Software
     Foreign languages
     Operating certain equipment or
    machinery
    SOFT SKILLS, on the other hand, are
    abilities that can be applied in any job.
    Often, soft skills may be referred to as
    “people skills” or “social skills” and
    include proficiency in things like:
     Communication
     Customer service
     Problem-solving
     Time management
     Leadership

    Hard skills are usually teachable while


    Soft skills are typically personality traits
    much harder to develop, and therefore
    extremely valuable to employers.
    In most cases, your soft skills can
    enhance your hard skills. For example, if
    you’re a detail-oriented software
    developer skilled in a computer
    programming language, you’ll likely be
    able to catch errors and correct issues in
    the code you and your team create.
    As a job seeker, it’s important to highlight
    your best hard and soft skills to position
    yourself as a well-rounded candidate. It’s
    also helpful to consider how the two
    types of skills relate to one another and
    the job so you can speak to this in your
    next interview.
