A skill is the learned capacity to carry out pre-determined results often with the minimum outlay of time, energy, or both. Skills can often be divided into domain-general and domain-specific skills. For example, in the domain of work, some general skills would include time management, teamwork and leadership, self motivation and others, whereas domain-specific skills would be useful only for a certain job. Skill usually requires certain environmental stimuli and situations to assess the level of skill being shown and used.

People need a broad range of skills in order to contribute to a modern economy and take their place in the technological society of the twenty-first century. An ASTD study showed that through technology, the workplace is changing, and so are the skills that employees must have to be able to change with it. The study identified 16 basic skills (Carnevale, 1990) that the workplace of the future would need in the employee of the future.

Q. I am an assist planning to become a Billposter, and I'm wondering how many skill points do I get from level 1-60? Do I get any bonus skill points when I job advance to a Bill Poster?

A. The guy before me answered for stat points which by the time you get to lv 60 you should have 118 stat points. However, for skill points, you do get some when you job change to a Bill Poster. If you were to not waste a single skill point from lv 1-60, you would have 358 skills points, but that would be dumb.

A. Honesty. [this is just a random guess] People benefit by earning trust from people, and gaining rewards usually as well. People get consequences for lying, including mistrust from people. This is a skill that most people don't have, because every once in a while even the best of people end up telling "white lies" or covering up a wrongdoing.
