Transferable skills are a core set of skills and abilities, which can be applied to a wide range of different jobs and industries. These are usually gained from previous positions or voluntary work.

Why do employers seek transferable skills?

Employers often seek to hire employees with transferrable skills as they can be used in so many ways throughout the workplace. Possessing many transferrable skills will show the employer that you can take on a variety of tasks going above and beyond your job description. This will lead to increased productivity within the whole organisation.

Some examples of transferable skills:

• Teamwork
• Leadership

• Communication
• Organisation

How do I showcase these skills on my CV?

Giving real life examples will help you stand out from the crowd and may just land you an interview. If you are unsure what skills to include for a particular role, use the job description and choose ones that are beneficial for the role.
