Which statement defines a qualification?

• A. A cover letter
• B. A resume
• C. A type of job
• D. A special skill, or type of experience, or knowledge, or ability that makes someone suitable to perform a job

Answer: (D)

A qualification is a specific attribute that makes you suitable for a job—such as a skill, knowledge, experience, or ability. It’s the thing you have learned or demonstrated that shows you can perform the duties required. Examples include a professional certification, proficiency in a software, a relevant degree, or several years of related work. These qualifications distinguish what you can do from other parts of the application process. A cover letter is a personal introduction, a resume lists your background, and a job is the position you’re applying for. So the statement that defines a qualification is the one describing that special skill, experience, knowledge, or ability that makes someone suitable to perform a job.
