Transferable skills are those general
competencies that you have developed from previous jobs, volunteer work, or
life experiences. These competencies are very valuable when marketing yourself
to employers—especially if you are a recent college graduate with little direct
business or industry experience. These skills, gained in other settings, are
transferred into the new position you seek. Review the list of transferable
skills that follows and check the ones you feel you have. Keep these
transferable skills in mind because you will use a similar checklist when
resumé preparation is discussed later. Use the two checklists to help you write
a resumé that will promote your worth to a potential employer.
