Hard Skills
• During the job application and interview process, employers look for
applicants with two skill sets:
• hard skills
• soft skills.
• Hard skills are teachable abilities or skill sets that are easy to quantify.
• Typically, hard skills in the classroom, through books or other training
materials, or on the job.
• Examples of hard skills include:
• Proficiency in a foreign language
• A degree or certificate
• Typing speed
• Machine operation
• Computer programming
• These hard skills are often listed in your cover letter and on your
resume, and are easy for an employer or recruiter to recognize. 
Soft skills
• Soft skills, are subjective skills that are much harder to quantify.
• Also known as "people skills" or "interpersonal skills," soft skills relate
to the way you relate to and interact with other people. 
• Examples of soft skills include:
• Communication
• Flexibility
• Leadership
• Motivation
• Patience
• Persuasion
• Problem Solving Abilities
• Teamwork
• Time Management
• Work Ethic
Emphasize Both Hard and Soft Skills

• Even if you lack a hard skill required by the company, you can
emphasize a particular soft skill
• For example, if the job involves working on a number of group
projects, be sure to emphasize your experience and skill as a team
player and your ability to communicate with team members.
How to Highlight Your Skills
• Incorporate skills into your resume. 
• For instance, if you're applying for a job where you'll need to have legal
knowledge, and also communicate with clients successfully, you can include
similar experience in job descriptions.
• Include relevant skills in your cover letter.
Rather than saying you have a soft skill, demonstrate that you have
it. For instance, rather than saying "I have leadership skills," you can
say, "At my role at Company ABC, I steered the sales team to record
numbers, creating a bonus structure that generated strong results." 
• Share your skills during job interviews.
