Skillset

A skillset is something that someone can be considered proficient in (aka "good at"). Playing guitar is a skillset. The same is Cold calling a prospective client.

In order to identify if something is a skillset, try asking the following questions:

  • Does it make sense to refer to someone as being really good at [skillset]?
  • Do I have particular expectations of role holders mastering the skillset on a certain level of proficiency?

If the answer to at least one of the above questions is "yes", then you are probably dealing with a skillset.

Skills

Skillsets are broken down into the particular skills on is expected to be able to perform/know in order to be considered proficient in the skill. Skills can be broken down into subskills where neccessary.

  • I know the most common chords
  • I can read sheet music
  • I can play the guitar using different techniques
    • I know common strumming patterns
    • I know common fingerpicking patterns
  • etc...
