Hard vs Soft Skills: What Employers Really Want

Understanding the balance between hard and soft skills can make or break your career. This video explains the differences, why they matter, and how to showcase them in your job search.

Hard skills are specific, measurable abilities required for particular jobs. They are usually acquired through formal education, training, or certification. Examples include:
- Marketing
- Data analysis
- Cyber Security
These skills are highly valued by employers because they are easily quantifiable and directly applicable to job-related tasks.

Soft skills are interpersonal abilities that relate to how you interact with others and approach work. Unlike hard skills, they are subjective and not easily measurable. Examples include:
- Multi-tasking
- Time Management
- Leadership
These skills are essential in almost all work settings and are often developed through life experiences and personal development. They complement hard skills and are highly valued by employers.
