Understanding and Showcasing Transferable Skills

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Employers see a lot of value in transferable skills. And the good news is, you've likely got quite a few of these skills - so it's worth making the most of them when you apply for a role.

So, what are transferable skills, exactly?

Transferable skills are a core set of skills and abilities that go beyond a particular job or organisation - you can use them in almost any role. Great people skills, for example, will be valuable to your work whether you're a customer service representative or a carpenter, a senior executive or an intern.

Transferable skills can help you stand out to employers in your job search or even make a career change - so knowing just what yours are can help you take that next step.

We've developed this checklist to help you identify your transferable skills and paint a clearer picture of all the abilities you can offer.

Read through the checklist below or download it here to get your own copy to work through.

Organisational and execution skills

These are the skills that help you to plan, prepare, and get things done in the workplace, so putting them to use in your role is valuable to employers. Here are some examples of what these skills involve:

Time management: managing your own time to get the job done. This is especially useful in fast-paced work environments.

Research and analytics: researching and collecting data,analysing, reporting on your findings and making recommendations.

Administration and clerical: efficiently handling tasks like filing, paperwork and communications including phone or email, plus managing calendars and appointments.

Financial management: developing and managing budgets, keeping financial records, fundraising or project managing.

Sales and marketing: marketing and selling a product or service, or influencing behaviour.

Creative thinking: generating new ideas and coming up with innovative solutions to problems.

Planning: managing yourself, others and available resources with a goal in mind, and creating plans for projects or events.

Technology or digital literacy: being able to use and quickly adapt to new technology, programs or tools.

Communication skills

Workplaces rely on communication for things to run smoothly, so skills you have here will be a benefit to them. These skills can be used when communicating within your team or company, as well as externally - for example, to customers.

Listening: not only taking on what's communicated to you but also interpreting and understanding it.

Writing: this isn't necessarily creative writing; it's any kind of interaction that involves the written word, such as reports, emails, letters, sales materials and articles.

Face-to-face: communicating in person, including facilitating meetings, interviewing, persuading, negotiating, expressing ideas plus speaking in public or to groups.

People skills

These are the skills that help you interact and get along with others - including co-workers, customers and clients. People skills are really valuable to organisations especially as they place growing importance on team culture and performance. Here are just a few examples.

Co-operation: being able to collaborate, work well with others and effectively contribute to projects or tasks.

Empathy: putting yourself in someone else's shoes to try and understand or relate to them.

Patience: the ability to handle trying situations, repeat processes when necessary, take time to make thoughtful decisions, accept delays or persevere.

Flexibility: willingness to adapt to a new situation or change approach when needed.

Leadership skills

Effective leaders can motivate their team and make decisions, which are things almost any successful business needs.

Prioritisation and delegation: being able to step back from the coalface and decide what needs to be done first, and determining which jobs are necessary and who can best handle them.

Critical thinking and problem solving: looking at problems, analysing them and coming up with solutions.

Coaching, mentoring and feedback: supporting and encouraging people to achieve goals, helping them work through roadblocks, plus providing feedback and information on performance.

This isn't a complete list of all the transferable skills out there - you may be able to come up with more that apply to you.

Identifying these skills and using them as selling points in your applications and online profiles will help you to stand out. List these transferable skills throughout your career history in your resume and make mention of them in your cover letter.

It's also important to think of how you can show examples of specific ways you've used these transferable skills so you can talk about them to potential employers - for example, in an interview setting. Our Practice Interview Builder can help you prepare responses to common interview questions and boost your confidence.

Health problems and injuries

In this English vocabulary lesson, you will learn about various health problems and injuries. It covers essential terms and phrases to help you communicate effectively in healthcare situations. Explore the language of symptoms, treatments, and medical emergencies to enhance your ability to discuss health-related topics with confidence. Check the pictures below and read the definitions and descriptions.

Common health problems and injuries

A 1 cold is a common illness that is passed from one person to another. When you catch a cold, you have a runny nose and a sore throat, and you often cough and sneeze a lot.

An allergy is a reaction to something you have eaten or been exposed to. When you have an allergy, you may sneeze excessively or get a 3 rash, which is a reaction on your skin.

We use the suffix -ache to mean 'pain'. For example, a 4 headache is a pain in the head.

When you experience stomach pain, it is called a stomachache. This can be caused by a 5 stomach bug, which is a virus that you caught from another person, or 6 food poisoning if you've eaten something bad. Stomach aches, stomach bugs, and food poisoning may be accompanied by 7 nausea (wanting to vomit) or 8 diarrhea.

A 9 sore throat can be a symptom of a cold, the flu, or an infection, and when you have a sore throat, you may lose your voice and find it painful to swallow.

A 10 cough is your body's way of reacting to something that is caught in your throat, causing you to make frequent noises to try and clear it. A cough is often a symptom of a cold or the flu.

12 Backache is pain in your back. It can be caused by many different things, such as lifting something heavy, an injury, or sleeping in an uncomfortable position.

A 14 bruise is a discoloured area of skin on your body caused by an injury or accident. Bruises are usually purple or blue but change colour as they heal.

15 Blisters are small bubbles on your skin that are full of liquid. They are usually caused by uncomfortable shoes or something rubbing against your skin.

16 Sunburn is your skin's reaction to over-exposure to the sun. When you've got a sunburn, your skin is red and sore, and often feels hot to touch.

Verbs and verb phrases

If you 1 throw up or if you are sick (UK Eng.), you vomit, i.e. you bring up the contents of your stomach.

If you 3 come round after passing out, you regain consciousness.

If you 4 suffer from an illness or condition, you have that illness or condition.

If you 5 get better, you recover from an illness.

If you 8 treat a condition, you deal with an illness or injury with medicine or therapy.

If you 10 undergo surgery, you have an operation.

Medicines

Painkillers are medicines such as aspirin, ibuprofen and paracetamol used to treat pain.

Antibiotics are medicines prescribed by doctors to treat infections.

Cough syrup is a medicine in liquid form that is used to treat coughs and sore throats.

Laxatives are medicines used to treat constipation.

Antidepressants are a variety of medicines used to treat depression and anxiety.

Sleeping pills are medicines used to treat insomnia.

Should, shouldn't

Exercise 1

Complete the sentences using should, shouldn't and the words in brackets ( ).

Should, shouldn't - Form

The same form for all persons

The form of should is the same for all persons:

I/you/he/she/it/we/you/they should see a specialist.

Should(n't) + infinitive

Should is a modal verb, and all modal verbs are followed by an infinitive (without to).

You should listen to me. (NOT You should to listen.)

Should not= shouldn't

The negative form of should is should not or shouldn't.

You should not be here./You shouldn't be here.

Questions

To make questions, we use should + subject + infinitive. We don't use the verb do to make questions.

Should, shouldn't - Use

Giving advice

We use should or shouldn't to give somebody advice and to say what is or isn't the right thing to do.

I think you should ...

We often say I think ... should ... to give somebody advice.

Note that in a negative sentence, we often say I don't think ... should ... (NOT I think ... shouldn't ...)

I don't think you should call her now; she's very upset. (NOT I think you shouldn't call her)

We often say Do you think ... should ... to ask for advice.

Ought to, ought not to

We can also use ought to instead of should, and ought not to instead of shouldn't.
