Introduction
Transferable skills are among the most highly valued skills job seekers can promote as they brand themselves. They are the skills we’ve been building upon all our lives, in every environment, that will allow us to get a second and third look by an employer. You may aspire to be an accountant, yet believe, because you have never been a bookkeeper or an account clerk that you cannot be competitive in the work force. Not true! Transferable skills are used in one position, and then applied or transferred to another environment when different tasks are performed.
For example, a restaurant hostess must analyze the wait staff’s abilities; the number of open tables she has; the flow of guests coming in and out of the restaurant; and the guests’ desire to have an enjoyable meal on a tight timeframe. That hostess’s ability to analyze the environment and the desires of the guests can be transferred into analyzing spreadsheets, profit and loss statements, and budgets. Now, the challenge rests with the job seeker to recognize the nature of their transferable skills and to weave them into their job search materials.
Capitalizing on your own self-assessment and career exploration, your task is to think of all your experiences as building blocks to achieving your desired position. In each personal, volunteer, or employment-related endeavor, we build skills that transfer to our desire careers. Here’s how to start thinking about branding your skills.

When I was a hostess at TGI Friday’s up to eight servers counted on me to greet people when they came into the restaurant; to take their names; and to assign them a table in a timely and fair manner. Depending on the size of the party, I needed to analyze the wait staff’s abilities; available tables if any; the flow of guests coming in and out of the restaurant; and the guests’ desire to have an enjoyable meal on a tight timeframe. The manager trusted me to keep the customers happy and the traffic flowing. |
