touch-typing is a transferable skill or Excel, aren't they? |

What are Soft Skills? Whereas hard skills are the tangible and technical skills easily demonstrated by a candidate’s qualifications and specific professional experiences, soft skills is a term used by employers to refer to the more intangible and non-technical abilities that are sought from candidates. Soft skills are sometimes referred to as transferable skills or professional skills. As this term implies, these are skills that are less specialised, less rooted in specific vocations, and more aligned with the general disposition and personality of a candidate. Examples of important soft skills are communication, teamwork and problem solving. Soft skills relate to your attitudes and your intuitions. As soft skills are less referable to your qualifications and more personality-driven, it is important to consider what your soft skills are and how you might show evidence of them before you apply for a job. This is particularly true of the recruitment process for graduate programmes, where transferable skills and potential often take precedence over professional experience. Being able to demonstrate your soft skills equates to demonstrating great potential to succeed and progress in the career of your choice.

I think being able to find your way around an Excel sheet is called a hard skill as you can prove you can do it via a test or something

For the same reason, Adobe can't be completely "replaced" for many designers, except that a new way of doing things has to be adopted... that's the real pain for most people to "switch", is learning a whole new set of shortcut keys and re-adapting their workflow... time is money in short. MS has learned this and has found this out when testing newer "ideas", which is probably one reason they ultimately end up cling to the old way of doing things so very often... and people bitch when things like the start menu, etc are tampered with. For a lot of people, software is actually not at all a transferable skill... it took them a lot of pain to learn the Start menu was the "hub" and when you change the "hub", the "brain" of the OS, it pisses a lot of people off... Hence why things like online media exist to help people even learn how to copy files... Last edited by Maru; 04-08-2018 at 05:52 PM. |

Well, my bad
I thought that things like touch-typing and basic software use would be classed as transferable |

Well, 2nd... Obviously I'm not going to do ANYTHING with the "edge" browser, besides using it to download literally any other browser. |

(And then sometimes I forget that vanilla windows 10 doesn't have a proper start menu and get confused when I'm not on my own system)
