01font00On the job online application system, it asks me to write down my qualities . . . 02font01i00Qualities 02i00is a slightly uncommon term for such an application, in my opinion.02br
02br
01font00Does qualities mean my soft skills such as teamwork skills, leadership skills and etc? 02font00Yes, that's how I would understand it, particularly if there is nowhere else to list such things..02br
02br
01font00Will quantitative skills, problem-solving skills also fall into qualities?02font00 Probably.02br
02br
01font00Does qualification mean my hard skills such as computer knowledge?02font00 It usually means 01i00formal qualifications02i00, for which you have a piece of paper, eg a degree, certificate, diploma, professional society membership perhaps.02br

0 Thanks for the reply. So for computer knowledge, saying I am a certified java programmer would be qualification, and saying I have good java programming knowledge because I have taken many courses in Java would be quality? 0-
