26 Lesson 1 If you want to find your dream job, it’s important to acquire the necessary work skills. Generally, work skills can be divided into two types : hard skills and soft skills . Both are necessary to be successful on the job, but they are different from each other. Hard skills are concrete skills that are specific to your job and are required for you to actually do your work. For example, if you’re a gardener, planting trees would be a hard skill. If you’re a computer programmer, coding would be a hard skill. Soft skills , on the other hand, are interpersonal skills that can be used in every job. These include communication, teamwork, and adaptability. Soft skills can be more difficult to develop than hard skills as they require practice over time in the real world with others. Additionally, they are harder to evaluate and are best demonstrated through experience and in-person interactions, rather than simply listing them on a résumé. Employers usually have to wait until an interview or your first few weeks on the job to understand your soft skills. Despite their differences, both hard and soft skills are necessary to get your dream job. hard skills teachable and measurable abilities, such as writing, reading, math, or the ability to use computer programs soft skills traits that make you a good employee, such as good etiquette, communication, and getting along with people vs Hard Skills Soft Skills VS What are the two types of work skills?
