Skills Audit for
Here's your Skills Audit, !
This records and measures the skills that you have picked up and developed so far and also helps identify any gaps. if you want to do better work, you need to focus on your weaker areas more than your stronger ones. This is not easy; human nature makes us want to get better at things we are already good at. These also tend to be the areas you like the best. To improve the not so good you have to take the comfortable coat off and put in the hard yards.
Irrespective of your level, you need to know what your skills are. The skills audit is designed to help you identify these and generate a plan to work on. It starts by identifying three types of skill (or expertise) – hard, soft and other.
Hard Skills
Hard skills are specific to the industry you work in and - by definition - less transferable to other fields.
Soft Skills
Soft skills are the universal personal and interpersonal tools that are easily transferable across industries. Examples include communication skills, IT, leadership, problem solving, working with and relating to others and applying initiative.
Other Skills
Other skills are any skills, knowledge or expertise you possess that don't fit easily into one of the other two categories. They could be from previous work you have done in an unrelated field, a hobby or the languages you speak.
This report summarises the skills you have identified, and those you may need to develop as you progress your career.
