Ah transferable skills!
You’ll hear this term a lot from people like me if you want to change your career.
You’ll be told to put them on your resume.
This can be really hard as even the experts who tell you to do that, can’t actually give you an effective formula for doing this.
Instead, they’ll say your transferable skills are things like:
- Teamwork
- Communication
- Leadership
- Time management
To which I say, nooooooo.
This is such blah and bad advice.
If you’re struggling with how to identify your transferable skills to put on your resume, this is your lucky lucky day.
I’m going to give you a 3-step process to unpack your transferable skills.
This will be easy to understand because it comes from real life, from one of my clients “Julia.”
Julia actually wanted to change her career from running her own website design business to becoming a content and copywriter.
But don’t worry! Even though the example is specific to Julia, you’ll still be able to follow this framework for your own situation.
But what I really want you to do is take note of the third step.
Because if you get that right, you’ll stand out above the hundreds of other people that actually don’t do this on their resume.
But before that, I need to tell you first what not to do.
