Soft skills are more general, transferable abilities that are essential for success in any profession, such as communication, problem-solving, and teamwork.

Once you have a list of your skills, take some time to reflect on which ones are most important for your current and future career goals. Consider the job market you're in or plan to enter, and identify the skills that are in high demand. You may also want to consider your personal interests and strengths.
