Transferable Skills

Posted by on Feb 8, 2013 in Career Counseling | 0 comments

It all comes down to skills. Do you know yours?

More and more, hiring managers look first at skills . . . and then at experience.  In today’s world, you must have a solid grasp of your transferable skills.  Sign up for a Transferable Skills Workshop that’s right for you.

Whether you are a college grad entering the job market for the first time, a young worker with a nice foundation of experience, or a polished professional with a well-developed niche, you will benefit from a clear understanding which helps you:

  • Articulate your value clearly and succinctly
  • Establish a line of work
  • Identify areas for professional development
  • Make internal  and external career moves
  • Create a niche or develop your expertise

My clients love to work with me on identifying their transferable skills.  They are easy to find, full of clarity, and fun to use in brainstorming new ideas.  The added bonus?  Improve your career self esteem.

I’ve created workshops to help you identify and define your transferable skills.  We will sort through each of the skills, classify them based on criteria and analyze, analyze, analyze.  Then the moment will come and you will learn what it is about you that is that magic, that special thing, that only you bring to the table.  It’s probably the aha you’ve been looking for.

So if you don’t have a handle on your transferable skills, sign up for a workshop.  Make an effort to understand more about yourself and your work skills so you can get closer doing work that expresses who you really are.
