Transferable Skills

Part 6: My Career Journey

​Transferable skills are what you take with you across organizations, companies, industries. It can be challenging though to identify the most important ones, those worth mentioning and the not so important ones. And then how do you word them or make them work in a variety of scenarios?

Let's start with some common transferable skills:
Planning                                Command 
Time Management               Strategic
Advising                                 Training
Public Speaking                     Change Agent
Relator                                     Mentoring
Organization                           Scheduling
Interviewing                           Resource Allocation
Teach                                       Motivating
Research                                  Ideation
Results Oriented                     Leadership
Adaptability                            Collaboration
Team-building                        Problem Solving 

It took me some time and creative thinking to think back through my life and work experiences, consider things I like to do and compare them to my strengths and weaknesses. The time and effort were well spent though because I learned some things about my self that I wasn't aware of before. 

I identified my transferable skills to be: idea generation, adaptability, willingness to relate to others, strategic thinking and decision making, the ability to meet ever-changing needs (also known as being a change agent), a well-honed resilience working within time-critical environments, a persuasive and confident nature, and the ability to take command. 

If you haven't identified your transferable skills, I challenge you to at least start thinking about them. You might not need the information immediately, but at some point, it could prove to be useful, I know it was for me!
