Job skills are the entire collection of skills you use to complete your work. There are three types of skills:

• Technical skills: Also called “Hard Skills” these types of skills would generally require previous experience, apprenticeship, internship or education. Some examples are computer programming, engineering and marketing.
• Workplace skills: Also called “Soft Skills” these types of skills are often part of your personality and will help you be successful in your job. Some examples are having a good work ethic, effective communication and problem solving skills.
• Transferable skills: These skills are often life skills or previous job skills that can be used in a new position. For example, being a Gold Award recipient indicates you have project management skills.
