Topic: Helping Your Clients Find Their Transferable Skills
The concept of transferable skills is important for job seekers in today’s economy. In your resume, cover letter, and during the interview process, you need to prove that you have the experience, knowledge, passion, and drive to get the job done.
How you explain to potential employers what you’ve done up to this point, depends on what you want to do next.
If you have been doing the same job for years, and plan to stay in a similar position, or identical industry, your present skills are what you showcase to employers. If you are looking to switch industries or take a different position than the one you have now, you will have to show potential employers why you are the best candidate and the best match for the position.
Transferable skills are the skills you have acquired up to this point in your life that can help you do something else in your career. This means your entire life, not just what you have been paid to do.
Join Deborah Brown-Volkman, PCC, veteran career coach and author of 6 best-selling career and business books as she shares her secrets on how she helps her clients find and showcase their transferrable skills so they can find a job in today’s tough economy and job market.
Note: this is a Q&A call. Deborah prefers to find out what’s on your mind and directs the call based on what’s important to you. So, brings lots of questions!
