What Are My Transferable Skills?
Your transferable skills are not necessarily the skills you can list from memory. They are often hidden inside what you repeatedly do. Ask yourself:
At work
What tasks do people rely on me to handle? What problems do I regularly solve? What responsibilities have I been trusted with?
In education
What projects have I completed? What subjects required abilities I could use elsewhere?
In volunteering
What have I organized? Have I led or coordinated people?
In personal life
What responsibilities have required planning, communication or problem-solving?
In achievements
What did I accomplish? What capabilities made that achievement possible?
