This Fri., June 5 from 1:30-2:30 join us on the ground floor of the FOSS building for a Job Seekers’ Roundtable on transferable skills.
Transferable skills are those you have acquired during any activity in your life — jobs, classes, projects, parenting, hobbies, sports, virtually anything — that are transferable and applicable to what you want to do in your next job. For example, almost every resume I have seen includes the bulleted item “strong communication skills.” But what exactly does that mean? Forms and styles of written communication? Great storyteller? Conveying a positive and likable self-image? All the above?
We often fall into the trap of describing ourselves as a job title, rather than who we really are, and what inspires or motivates us. The fact is, the skills we’ve learned from a lifetime of “you do this, I give you a check,” are just a fraction of everything that makes each one of us unique.
Join us for a discussion about how we might assign our skills to a broader variety of jobs and careers.
As per usual: Strong coffee and sweet treats will be provided, all compliments of Central Market.
And also as usual – Good Luck Out There!
