These different types of skills are commonly known as hard and soft skills, with hard skills referring to the job-specific qualities and soft skills referring to the personal attributes that allow you to thrive in the workplace.

As consumers, this is perfectly understandable. But, as a brand, we want to be one of the emails that get opened, explored, and, hopefully, lead to a click or an action. We don’t want to be one of those that are swiped away, never to be seen again.
