TRANSFERABLE SKILLS

Go through the transferable skills on this page and check off all the ones you have.

Now, go through the list again and put a second check mark beside your strengths -- the things you do very well.

Go through the list a third time and circle the strengths that you really enjoy using. These are your "motivated" skills. Generally you will be more productive when a job enables you to use these skills.

Make a list of all your transferable skills under the "Transferable/Functional " column in the
Skills Inventory page. Start with your motivated skills, followed by your other strengths.
