Activity: Assess your skills and strengths

Skills

Skills are abilities that come from specific training and can be learned in a course, workshop, or self-study (e.g., software programs, languages, time management, people management, research, analytics, project management, etc.).

• Hard skills are the specific, teachable abilities and knowledge areas required for positions. They are fact-based and can be defined and measured.
• Soft skills include the personal, relational, and behavioral attributes that allow you to thrive in the workplace. They are subjective and often times situational.

Strengths

Strengths are personal attributes that you have cultivated over time (e.g., flexibility, integrity, positive attitude, willingness to learn, dependability, friendliness, persistence, etc.).
