There are skills that you can only learn in a classroom or from other people. Hard skills are just that. They are knowledge that has been passed on to you that you can prove you have. You either have a degree or previous experience that can vouch for your capabilities.

Hard skills take years to acquire; they take serious training and are easy to measure. With hard skills, employers know where they stand with all candidates because it’s easy to fact-check them.

Let’s say you’re applying for a job as a teacher. You are great with kids, can communicate with them without any issues, and your organizational skills are on point.

That’s amazing! It sounds like teaching is the right career choice for you! However, suppose you don’t have a teaching degree, along with the necessary technical knowledge of how to do everything the teaching job entails (such as lesson planning, report writing, etc.). In that case, you won’t get a teaching job no matter how good your interpersonal skills are.

The other way around is also true. If you can’t communicate properly with the kids and connect with them, and if you don’t have the leadership skills that will allow you to turn a room of unruly 8-year-olds into a room full of kids ready to listen and learn, then you most likely won’t get past the first round of interviews for a teaching job. Come to think of it; you might also not pass the resume stage (unless you showcase ALL your skills in the right way. But we’ll get to that later).

***57% of employers look for soft skills that match the job, the team, their company culture, and brand. However, 100% of them look for hard skills that match the job description. You might not need to have them all, but you do need to fill the most critical criteria to be considered for a specific role.***

As you probably gathered so far, soft skills aren’t something a high school or university class can teach you. Unlike your hard skills that have to do with your education or practical knowledge from your field of expertise, soft skills aren’t teachable. Well, soft skills aren’t teachable to the same extent as hard skills. No matter what it is that you do, your employer can always teach you something new. Maybe it’s a new program or a different approach to the job you haven’t thought of. However, they can never teach you to be a better communicator or change your personality traits. That’s how soft and hard skills differ. Aside from that, soft skills are also much more transferable.

Important: It’s harder to both teach and test soft skills (unlike hard skills). Although you can improve your soft skills, they mainly depend on your personality and character. Hiring managers like to know you already have them because that means you have the potential to be a great employee.
