To make it through an interview in this digital era, it is important to possess several skills among which Soft skills and Hard skills (core skills) are extremely important.
Hard skills are related to specific technical knowledge and training, while soft skills are personality traits such as leadership, communication or time management.
Hard skills are often gained through education or specific training. They include competencies like how to use a certain machine, software or another tool.
List of some Hard skills:

Soft skills are personal habits and traits that shape how you work, on your own and with others. Effective communication, for example, is a key soft skill many employers seek. Some others include dependability, effective teamwork and active listening.
They are called upon when you manage your time, communicate with other people or confront a difficult situation for the first time.
