What are Qualifications?

Answer:
In the business world, qualifications include

the skills and experience necessary to perform in a certain job position. Educational qualifications include the diplomas or degrees that must be attained by someone in order for them to work in a certain position.

Depending on the position, this might be a high school diploma or a GED, or an advanced degree in a certain field. Vocational qualifications include the applicant's work history and vocational training. Other qualifications might include skills such as knowledge of certain computer programs, how to operate different types of machinery, or any other ability or talent that might help someone in a certain position.

Job postings generally include a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) as part of the job listing, so that potential applicants can see if they meet the qualifications. In addition, resumes and cover letters can include a SOQ in order for potential employers to quickly assess their basic skills.
