How to Identify Your Transferable Skills

How to Identify Transferable Skills - We’ve all heard stories of someone starting a job with a company just out of high school or college, and staying with that same company and maybe in that same role until they retire. The concept of lifer, cradle to the grave, gold watch retirement, seems pretty uncommon these days. Even if someone does stay with a company for their entire career, they will most certainly have various positions through lateral moves and promotions.
This means most of us will need to think about the current work we are doing and how it applies to other careers. When you are creating your resume, networking, and interviewing your main goal is to highlight the skills and experience that you have developed which are transferable to that new role you are seeking. Degrees, certifications, and credentials imply a certain high level of knowledge, which is excellent to have. Transferable skills from work experience can truly help you to stand out.
My buddy Mike Prusaitis, senior project manager at frog talks about the transferable skills from previous work that has helped him in project management.

I have worked for over 16 years with patients. I have all the soft skills I think are essential in almost any job. But my last 4 years of work it was a bit different. Had a new employer who overworked and underpaid me, I didn’t know any better. I recruited, and trained the staff. One thing they always said about me was: “You have the patience to train people” and “you are good at hiring great candidates”. We were told training “was everyone’s job.” So I went with it. I did everything else in that office. I organized schedules, trained staff, implemented performance improvement strategies, etc I am trying to leave healthcare, where I have been overworked, underpaid and underappreciated.

Sorry to hear you had that experience and were taken advantage of. It sounds like you built a lot of great leadership skills. If you are interested in management you have the experience for it.

Wow. Great video! Soft skills are huge and I don’t think they get the respect they should lol. It’s also very hard to share during an interview.

[@GroUp512]

Thanks Mike! Yeah soft skills are often developed and transferable but not always recognized and understood.

Thanks for the video. I gotta add though that i think it will benefit your videos to make eye contact with us, if you know what i mean. feel like youre looking away and found it distracting. not trying to be a downer. just think it may help.

[@GroUp512]

Thanks and I agree. If you watch my other videos, I’m looking directly at the camera. I just happened to use a teleprompter app on my phone. It didn’t turn out how I hoped. 😁 There’s certainly been some trial and error on this channel. Thanks for watching!
