Transferable Skills

What are your transferable skills?

If you work in the kitchens of a busy hotel or restaurant, you probably rate high in prioritisation and multitasking. If you work as a driving instructor, it’s likely you’d score high on communication and patience. And if you have a passion for woodwork, it’s likely you are attentive to detail.

My background in world class manufacturing taught me many skills that can be applied to different sectors. Think troubleshooting, visual management and decision making. These have served me well with every business I’ve worked with.

(Not to mention the quality standards, safety standards and environmental awareness).

It’s worth considering what additional skills you could offer your current employer. And also what transferrable skills you could deploy outside work.

As with everything—practice makes better.
