âTransferable skills are talents you've acquired that
can help an employer but that aren't immediately
relevant to the job you seek.â
Kevin Donlin, rĂŠsumĂŠ writer
Experiences like volunteer work, hobbies, sports,
previous jobs, college coursework or even life happenings
can lead you to find these skills.
Any skill is transferable; the trick is showing employers
how your skills apply and are USEFUL to them.
