Strengths – What do you do well?
I encourage people to start here. It’s typically an easy assessment to
make. If you’re stuck or too modest to
reflect on your strengths look at old performance reviews. Or think about what you like to do best
and/or what comes easiest to you.
Transferrable skills
– What will you leverage?
This is a natural next step from strengths. Transferrable skills are those skills that you
have that can be applied across a variety of positions. Meaning if you’ve got a
strong drive for results in your current role – you’ll have a strong drive for
results in your next one. Typically,
there’s a high degree of overlap between transferrable skills and
strengths. Although, you should be aware
that it’s not necessary for a transferrable skill to be a strength.
