It’s easy to forget the skills you bring to your career, work, and occupation. Sometimes the things you do come naturally and as a result, you have trouble defining them. Or you deem those skills irrelevant and ignore or devalue them all together. Whether you are transitioning industries or occupations and or newly graduated from undergrad or graduate school, sometimes you can miss the importance of everything you bring to the table and forget the gold mine of talent and uniqueness you offer. However, don’t underestimate any of the experiences and how they can relate to future endeavors. Additionally, it’s important to not only identify those key skills you bring and can transfer somewhere else but even more important, determine which of these skills you LIKE using! Try the below activity to help you determine what events or projects you have enjoyed and the skills you used in those experiences. As you move through the activity you will think about not only what skills you have but ultimately create a strong list that includes those skills you also like!
