When a hiring manager is evaluating your skill set understand that skills are broken into two groups — hard and soft.
Hard skills are measurable abilities, such as proficiency with a specific computer program. Soft skills are less quantifiable and embody a person's ability to interact with others.

@Sally Molina Hello Sally, some advice that’s helped me with this is to watch a movie or show that you’re familiar with in the language you’re hoping to learn with subtitles on at first and then eventually omitting the subtitles. This isn’t a full proof teaching method but can help to reinforce what you’ve already learned, hope this helps. 👍🏼

After serving in the army for several years, Chance was discharged and returned home, eager to start his civilian life. He quickly realized that finding a job was not as easy as he thought it would be. Despite having valuable skills acquired in the military, he struggled to find an employer who recognized his worth.
One day, Chance saw a job listing for a security position at a local bank. The job required someone with a strong attention to detail, the ability to stay alert for long periods, and someone who could handle stressful situations. Chance immediately knew that his military training had prepared him perfectly for this job, so he applied.
During his interview, Chance shared his experience and training in the army, highlighting his ability to stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and his attention to detail. The bank was impressed with his background and offered him the job.
On his first day at work, Chance found himself in a high-pressure situation when he noticed someone acting suspiciously in the bank. He immediately sprang into action, following his military training to assess the situation and communicate with his team effectively. His instincts and training helped him prevent a potential robbery, and the bank management praised him for his quick thinking and professionalism.
From then on, Chance’s military training continued to serve him well in his new civilian job. He approached his work with the same discipline, focus, and dedication that he had in the military. He always kept his cool under pressure, was vigilant, and communicated effectively with his team.
Chance’s performance at work caught the attention of his superiors, and he was quickly promoted to a management position. He continued to use his skills and training from the military to excel in his job, always striving to be the best he could be.
In the end, Chance proved that his military experience was not just a part of his past but an essential part of who he was. By using the skills he learned in the military, he was able to succeed in his civilian job and create a bright future for himself.
