SKILLS - WHAT ARE THEY?

Is a demonstrated quality or strength which may be natural or acquired. Something you can do well, repeatedly.

We acquire skills from everywhere – interests, sports, social interactions, home

Many skills are transferable

TRANSFERABLE SKILLS

Transferable skills are the secret of changing careers without necessarily going back to school, because they allow us to build a picture of a new career from the ground up.

Transferable skills are almost always verbs – focused energies that act upon some object

3 TYPES OF SKILLS

Transferable skills can be divided into 3 categories

Technical

Administrative

Personal (OHT) The higher the transferable skill, the more freedom you

will have on the job, and the less competition

ACHIEVEMENTS

Achievements are the combination of a number of skills we possess.

Achievements are best identified and confirmed by locating challenges we have faced, and the actions taken (and skills exercised as part of these actions) and the outcomes with work experiences.
