Job skills are traits and abilities that make a person good at a particular job. Everyone has their own unique set of skills. Some, such as writing, must be learned and others, such as creative thinking, are innate qualities.
There are three categories of skills:
Transferable: These are skills you can apply across job titles and industries. Examples include problem-solving, listening and verbal communication.
Soft skills: These are personal traits that indicate how you might function in the workplace; many of them are transferable. They include adaptability, critical thinking and dependability.
Hard skills: These are skills and knowledge we acquire through work, education and life experiences. They include job-relevant skills like management, software proficiency and budget planning.
