 Lecturette
Our knowledge about self and of our
skills and ways of doing things are
important elements in choosing a
career. When we know our interests
and the skills we possess, we are
better able to identify the kind of
profession we want to pursue.
• Personal skills are things we are good at
- our strengths. abilities, and attributes.

• Knowledge refers to learning concepts,

principles, and information regarding a
particular subject(s) by a person
through books, media, encyclopedias,
academic institutions. and other
sources (8oulet, 2011)
• Skills refers to the ability of using
that Information and applying it in a
context. In other words, knowledge
refers to theory and skill refers to
successfully applying that theory in
practice and getting expected results.
For instance, a salesperson armed with an
MBA degree may have learned all the
principles of marketing and selling in his
business school Going forward, in his
work he would know more about his
company in the arena of its product
line, target market, competitors, etc. All
of the above is knowledge. When the
individual transfers this knowledge to
create a successful sales strategy and
pitch and work to achieve those sales
targets, is the salesperson‘s skill.
Knowledge is the thing we know while skill
is the ability to apply what we know.

Each of us possesses different skills. Each of

us varies in the strengths and weaknesses
that we possess. These make us unique.
Because we are unique, we differ in the
way we do things. Since no two
individuals are the same, we need to
complement each other. In like manner,
different professions require different skill
sets and abilities.
