How to Identify Transferable Experience
Transferable experience is broader than your previous job title. Start by reviewing what you have actually done.
Look Beyond Job Titles
Instead of writing: "Administrative Officer" list the responsibilities you performed. Perhaps you: coordinated schedules; managed information; communicated with stakeholders; prepared reports; organized events; solved operational problems. Those activities reveal capabilities.
Review Five Areas
Employment: What responsibilities did you handle? Education: What projects or assignments did you complete? Volunteering: What did you organize or contribute? Projects: What have you built or delivered independently? Life Experience: What meaningful responsibilities have developed your capability?
Identify Overlap
Then compare these capabilities with your target career. The objective is to identify overlap.
Change your career with confidence.
Identify your transferable skills and align them with new opportunities by mapping your capabilities and career direction.
