Frequently Asked Questions

What is a skills audit?

A skills audit is a comprehensive inventory of your technical skills (coding, design, etc.), soft skills (communication, leadership), and domain knowledge. It helps you understand your market value, identify gaps, and plan development.

Why does a skills audit matter?

Most people dramatically underestimate their skills. A comprehensive audit reveals hidden strengths, highlights valuable combinations, and identifies gaps before you need them. This information informs job searches, salaries, and development.

What's the difference between hard and soft skills?

Hard skills are technical (coding, accounting, design). Soft skills are interpersonal (communication, leadership, collaboration). Both are valued; employers increasingly prioritize soft skills since hard skills can be learned faster.

How do I know which skills are valuable?

Valuable skills are those in demand (check job posts), rare (few people have them), and hard to automate. Skills that combine rare technical + strong soft skills are especially valuable and command higher pay.

Should I list all my skills?

No. Focus on skills you actually use or want to use professionally. Include your strongest areas and rare combinations. Avoid listing skills you haven't used in 5+ years unless they're directly relevant to your target role.
