The technical skills that are necessary for a job depend on the field of the job. For example I'm a computer science student and some of my technical skills are computer languages like java, C, SQL, and Verilog. These technical skills would be needed if you are going to pursue and career in computer science. If it's a hardware job, the technical skills you will need to know is related to the computer hardware and internal pieces. For a person who plans on doing movie filming, the technical skills may be how to use the movie filming video camera, how to do camera tricks, how to do audio tricks, etc.
Soft skills are non-technical skills which everyone should have. Employers generally want job seekers who have soft skills such as being a hard worker, highly motivated, able to work and communicate in a team efficiently, etc. These are some of my soft skills. Of course, employers will certainly want these skills from employees. These are good examples of soft skills which all employers may want regardless of the job field. Another example of a soft skill may be problem solving and thinking outside the box. If any problem arises which is related to the job, are you able to solve it? Are you able to think outside the box to find a solution to a problem? These are all important skills which can be useful for any job especially if its an engineering or a doctor job.
