Quick Reference

Talents: Things you’re naturally good at. Hint: You think everyone can easily do them but if you look closely, that’s not the case. E.g. Being a good listener, Drawing, Cooking, Reading etc

Skills: Knowledge of doing specific task that you have acquired over time, through study or experience E.g. Fashion or Graphic Design, Public Speaking, Driving etc

Interests: Things you are naturally curious about. E.g. Other cultures, photography, space etc

Hobbies: Things you do to pass time & enjoy yourself E.g. Listening to music, hiking, camping, eating lol

REMEMBER: What’s a talent to you could be a skill to someone else, an interest to another and so forth. Don’t limit yourself. Have fun!
