Hard Skills vs Soft Skills

Hard skills are usually acquired through education or special training. They include abilities such as how to use specific equipment, software, or other tools.

Soft skills are often seen as character traits that people develop throughout their lives, such as those needed to communicate with others or solve problems. In other words, hard skills can be defined as the technical knowledge you have, while soft skills can be defined as the behavioral characteristics in the workplace.
