Career development organizations have identified major types of skills that employees need. These skills can be acquired in many different ways and from many experiences you have in your life. You might learn skills from a class project, a service learning project, hobbies or work experience.
Skills that have been identified by JIST, a career development publisher include:

Self-management skills – skills that help you cope with daily living. They include traits like your personality, your ability to get along with others, follow directions, motivate yourself, discipline yourself and exercise good judgement.
