Can someone explain the difference between key skills and inter-personal skills?

Question

Just trying to sort my CV out. Thanks

Thank you MinaF. You have answered my own question.. Thanks again

Answer 1

Key skills - tasks that are key to the position you are applying for

inter personal skills - communication skills (with other people) verbally mostly but could include written communication

Answer 2

In the field of NVQs and in Modern Apprenticeships, key skills are:
Communication
Information Technology
Numeracy
Working with others
Organising own workload

Interpersonal skills is just another name for working with others and is only a small part of overall key skills.

In research done by the department for employment, these key skills are those which were agreed by most employers as being essential for virtually any job, and which can be transferred to any other job.

Answer 3

My guess is that 'key skills' probably means technical skills, such as IT, finance, keyboard, and other operational skills. Interpersonal skills are those you use in relationships with others, such as teamworking, leadership, counselling, mentoring, teaching, listening, communicating, etc. If you have to prepare a CV for a particular job application, looking at their application form might shed some further light on this.

Hope that helps.

Answer 4

Key skills are all your skills including technical, non-technical etc., For ex., C, C++, Java, Unix, negotiation, etc.,

inter-personal skills are those that are used while working with other persons - Team work, Mentoring etc
