Hard Skills vs Soft Skills What is difference between hard skills and soft skills?
Hard Skills
Examples of hard skills include: •Proficiency in a foreign language •A degree or certificate •Typing speed •Machine operation •Computer programming
These hard skills are often listed in your cover letter and on your resume, and are easy for an employer or recruiter to recognize.
Soft Skills
Soft skills, on the other hand, are subjective skills that are much harder to quantify. Also known as "people skills" or "interpersonal skills," soft skills relate to the way you relate to and interact with other people. Examples of soft skills include: Communication Teamwork Flexibility Patience Persuasion Time Management Motivation
Why is soft skills important?

When you were a child, your parents probably reprimanded you if you treated your siblings or friends wrongfully. If you thought that was harsh, brace yourself for an even more stringent job market! Poor soft skills will get you fired and win you a couple of bad recommendation letters. Your hard skills are the concrete you need to build a successful career. Your soft skills on the other hand, are the man power required for the concrete to be turned into one solid building (Mikoluk, 2013). https://blog.udemy.com/soft-skills-training/
Your colleagues and supervisors also need a sociable and reliable worker who can effectively work in a team. Team work is definitely not possible without good communication and leadership skills. Soft skills are broader and arguably much more critical than hard skills. They are your personal attributes which determine how well you get along with people, your career prospective and overall job performance.

Communication Barrier Writing is especially important for deaf and hard-of hearing individuals since English can be a second language for many students, so writing, in general, can be a challenge. Some people turn to written communication as a replacement for what hearing people share verbally. However, this is far from ideal for many deaf employees. For those deaf from a young age, English acquisition and, subsequently, reading and writing proficiency are often affected. Therefore, handwritten notes or other written materials cannot adequately replace all spoken communication (Parnes and Richardson,n.d.).

Professionally, if you are applying for jobs or looking for a promotion with your current employer, you will almost certainly need to demonstrate good communication skills. For example, the ability to: speak appropriately with a wide variety of people whilst maintaining good eye contact, demonstrate a varied vocabulary and tailor your language to your audience, listen effectively, present your ideas appropriately, write clearly and concisely and work well in a group all require good communication skills. Many of these are essential skills that employers seek.

Employers should consult with deaf and hard of hearing employees about the type of accommodations that are needed in order to make its facilities and work environment accessible. The accommodation that is appropriate for one deaf or hard of hearing employee may not be successful in achieving effective communication for other employees.
