Answer to Question 1

Hard skills refer to a person's specialty skills in his or her field (e,g., accountant, manager, financial advisor) and involve subject matter knowledge and technical skills. Soft skills refer to the individual's ability to communicate, work with others, lead and create. Both types of skills are needed in the workplace. Regardless of a person's specialty skills, if he or she does not know how to communicate or work effectively with other people, his or her chances of success in the profession will be restricted. A person needs the ability to work effectively in a team-oriented workplace, which requires ability to motivate, encourage, and appraise performance. In an atmosphere of service economies, both hard and soft skills are equally regarded.
