What are Soft Skills?

Have you ever thought to yourself which soft skills are important for the job you are applying for? Have you ever had difficulty showing or “selling” these skills in your CV or during an interview? How can you know whether you’ve mastered a certain skill and what can you do to improve it?

First, let’s learn the difference between hard and soft skills. Hard skills are specific abilities which can be measured and defined. You can learn them in a classroom or through books and are easily identified on your resume.

Soft skills are subjective. They are broadly applicable and relate to the way you interact with other people. These skills tend to come from life experience or upbringing, but they can also be developed by self-aware individuals seeking to be more successful.

Hard skills are individual for each job and function, while soft skills are universal. Mastering soft skills will provide you with the freedom and flexibility to obtain any job position, provided that you learn the necessary hard skills.

We will start with arranging all the skills in to 7 groups:

1. Communication skills #communication@flessibilita
